5.00Eric who was our tour host and driver made us comfortable in our tour. He made sure we arrived safely in each location. Though time was limited, Eric gave us ample time to at least see and orient ourselves with the place and time to shop For souvenirs. He was bery knowledgeable of the places we visited even navigated the boat ride. I highly recommend this tour and make sure you request Eric as your travel host.

5.00It was a fun way to spend a Saturday! Our guide Eric was thoughtful and funny talking about his wedding wooden shoes…he was guide, photographer, boat captain and strategist…nice group of people to share wooden shoes, cheese and boating…I especially enjoyed our boat this trip in Giethorn…lots of boats on the canal, a few minor collisions but fascinating to see people from all over the world at play!
We had such a great day...
