Big tourist bus with modern amenities. The tour guide on June 2 (I assume Adrian) from Amsterdam Central was excellent. On time covered all destinations. The time at Royal Delft was a lot and not needed - can be trimmed to 45 mins. Rest of it was very good.

Our guide, Reinier, was great. Our tour + madurodam was amazing!!! Super informative in each of the city stops plus some free time to experience and explore the surrounding stop. I would greatly recommend Reinier too, as we were able to ask plenty of questions about the Netherlands throughout the trip. 10/10.

My wife and I have traveled around much of the world and had guides in all places. Some are average and some excellent. But just a few are awesome and outstanding. Leidse is one of those few. He is funny, personable, efficient, timely and superbly informative. Get him in The Netherlands if you can. You will be amazed.

Delft was fabulous, Rotterdam and The Hague less so. Part of that was the guide was not great, not terrible. He clearly knew a lot, but he spoke very fast and was hard to follow at times. Also, my wife and I were sitting in the two seats next to the driver. I was in the middle seat, and I barely fit. It was very uncomfortable. I am not sure there should be more than 7 people in that van.

Our guide Pete was perfect. We were a small group so it moved pretty quickly. Pete know his history and interesting facts and stories of the local areas. Delft was great and The Hague very interesting with all the conflict between nations to resolve. Great day, company and superb weather.

We came off an 8-day river cruise and found Amsterdam tours/museums were fully booked. Decided we would book this excursion. It was the best excursion we had all trip. Our guide (Leidse) was very knowledgeable and fun. Rotterdam was much cleaner than Amsterdam, and the town of Delft (where we had lunch) was cleaner still. The factory tour was very interesting, and the visit to the Hague was as well. The only downside for the Hague was we were only able to visit the outside of the building, but our guide provided a good summary of the mission and activities of the Hague. Well worth our time and money well spent.

We liked this your tour especially the guide -
Reinier .

He texted us a day before and came on time as agreed. We visited all places as listed in the itinerary. He was very knowledgeable and giving us a lot of information. His English was good and was answering all questions with a lot of enthusiasm. His driving skill was also very good and we felt safe during the entire tour.

I recommend him for any one who wants to visit Amsterdam
