    First stop great but tulip fields are not right next to windmills like pictured. Second stop could not go into the city so they just brought us to the beach to fill time. Rotterdam wasn’t good because there was a marathon going on so the city was a madhouse and the bus couldn’t get us into town so we had a long walk and didn’t get to see much. The tour company should not have scheduled a tour on that day if 2 out of 3 stops were a problem. I contacted them and they would not refund.

Ou​r guide was exceptional, providing rich historical context and answering all our questions. The time allocated at each site was sufficient to appreciate their significance fully. Traveling in a comfortable vehicle with a small group enhanced the experience. I left with a deeper understanding of Dutch culture and memories of stunning sights. Highly recommend this tour.
