Description

Two capitals, a single train ride and four nights in each. In Amsterdam, a French-speaking guide leads you through the old town and the Jordaan before a canal cruise reveals the gabled houses from the water. The following days are yours: the Museumkwartier, the Noordermarkt, the narrow lanes of the Wallen. For those who want to see the countryside, an excursion leads to the windmills of Zaanse Schans, the cheeses of Edam and the port of Volendam.

The train then drops you in Brussels. A panoramic tour, a visit to the Atomium, then the city is explored on foot: the Grand-Place lit up at dusk, the Galeries Saint-Hubert, Europe's oldest shopping arcades, and the Art Nouveau façades of quieter districts. Bruges, the Venice of the North, is a day trip away.

Two hotels, eight nights and a tour escort who stays available without ever setting your pace.

Synergia network group departures

Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.

What sets these departures apart

  • A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
  • A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
  • A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
  • Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it

How to book

Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.

Other ways to travel as a group

If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.

Frequently Asked Questions

An escorted trip built by an advisor in the Voyages Synergia network, on fixed dates with limited places, usually built around one specific activity.
No. Most participants do not know each other at departure. That is one reason these trips appeal to people travelling alone.
It varies by product, from a few dozen to fewer than ten on expeditions. The number is stated in each departure file.
Often yes, several months ahead, because places are limited. It is worth enquiring as soon as a date is announced.
Sometimes, depending on the flights and hotels used. Ask the responsible advisor before confirming, since it changes the air booking.
