Why this trip

Backwaters at walking pace.

The famous houseboat lane is crowded. A house on a quiet canal is not. This Vacation puts you in one for six nights, with a country boat for the day you want to move.

Mornings start with the village waking up across the water. Afternoons are for nothing.

“The slowest trip we offer, on purpose.”
Curator’s note
