Best of the Netherlands Reviews

I was very happy with this tour. The tour leader was very knowledgeable, competent and thoughtful. Everything was very well organised and interesting. I thought it was very good value.

I would gladly do this tour again. So many beautiful places in a short time. Stayed at the airport hotel in Amsterdam so you take the free shuttle to Amsterdam airport, then the train to central station (about €4). A very good easy pace tour, not too early starts which can be annoying when your on holidays.

The BIG downside was what all 46 travellers ...read more decided - the tour guide had never done this tour before and gave us NO info about Holland in any way, shape or form. She did however spend hours telling us we had to tip her €5 euros a day and she was very busy every night doing paper work for our group. She said that we had to write excellent on everything on the customer survey form as her job depended on it, and how she only got commission and not a wage from the company and so much other rubbish. Everyone was talking about this during the trip.

It’s a pity that a tour and country so amazing was spoilt by a hopeless tour guide. We had a guy from the USA who was there on a free trip because he was one of the top 10 sellers of Cosmos tours, and even he was amazed at the rubbish that came out of the tour guides mouth. As I said a wonderful tour, I just hope you don’t get this tour guide on your trip.
