3.00We really appreciated that our new 6 month old pup was allowed to join in and the windmill stop was awesome but we would have loved to have seen the tulips. The guide didn’t really provide much history and was super nice just not too informative for the price. Never offered to let us charge our devices or have water until at the end when we asked if there was any water. The fishing village and cheese stop were Ok but nothing unique.
The driver was excellent....
