Top Netherlands Bus Tours - page 18

Family vacation we had Erik as our tour guide and really enjoyed this tour. It was a long day with a lot of stops but Erik was Wonderful kept us engaged shared a lot of history related to each city. I wild recommend this tour if you want to see more areas outside of Amsterdam in one day.

Very enjoyable experience, the time in the gardens was just perfect, not too long, not too short. Good time to wander around and have lunch there. The visit to the windmills was also very unique experience with plenty of time to enjoy the different shops, learn the history of the place and take some wonderful photos!

We went with This Is Holland Hop on Hop Off tour company. Very easy to find the meeting point In Amsterdam. Was easy to find them afterwards in a sea of tour buses. The gardens itself was phenomenal and wished we were there several days earlier but we were on a cruise. I highly recommend going to the gardens.

This was a wonderful experience! The bus was comfortable and our guide Claudia was organized and informative. Then our walking guide in Bruges was also very knowledgeable and also entertaining. He also did a really nice job of keeping track of everyone in the group and waiting to talk until everyone could hear him. It is a full day trip from Amsterdam, so be prepared for the time. But we felt it was worth it.

Our guide, Victoria, was excellent! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the museums, including: artists, individual works, and current exhibits. Victoria also speaks English which was very helpful for us. We had a great time with another lovely couple of travelers!

Eva's storytelling brought the past to life, painting a vivid picture of historical events against the backdrop of the locations themselves. Her narratives focused on individual stories of choice, bravery, and courage, highlighting the accounts of people who chose to resist rather than be swept away by the prevailing current of events. The experience was deeply enhanced by the locations, which offered not only visual context but also a tangible connection to the past. Eva intimately shared her own family's personal journey, detailing their preparation for survival, the challenges of hiding, and their life after the war. This personal connection transformed the historical account from a simple story into a deeply moving and relatable human experience. The tour also provided a powerful moment of reflection, showing what the one's destiny could have been if they hadn't made certain choices, while also paying solemn respects to those who were not as fortunate in their circumstances or fate. What began as a simple online booking evolved into a pivotal moment of reflection on the past and present, not just as an individual but also for our entire small group. (Thank you Peter, Sharon, and Eva.) This was a truly unforgettable experience, and one that will never be forgotten.

Ray was a great guide. Picked us up from our hotel on time and provided a great tour of the village and windmills. Loved learning about the local culture, seeing the wooden shoes made, learning about how cheese was made, tasting the cheese, touring inside a working windmill, and tasting the local chocolate. Had a great time and drop off back at the hotel after was great. Would definitely recommend to others.

Our driver (Hans) was very polite and helpful. His car was a beautiful Mercedes and he was an excellent driver. He had some interesting facts to tell us about Amsterdam during our trip and our drive to the hotel in the Museum Quarter was smooth and relaxing.
