The carriage

The carriage transport will be provided by the highly experienced coachman Jacob van den Broek. For this occasion, he will appear with a luxurious carriage for 16 people, drawn by two horses. At the Rijksmuseum, he will help you and the other passengers board, and then you will depart at 6:30 PM for a wonderful tour through beautiful Amsterdam. After about half an hour, the carriage will arrive at De Duif, perfectly in time for the start of the ball.
