Excellent tour to three very nice places. Enjoyed seeing all of them, and Madurodam too! Loved the hotel pick-up, and Pete was an informative guide. My only constructive comment would be that it would be nice to have people rotate seats in the van so that the same people are not always stuck in the back row with limited visibility for pictures, and for the guide to be careful in their comments about those from other countries, etc. Several negative comments were made about those from Germany and my Dad and his family emigrated to the US from there. It was not nice!

Impossible to review as the day before the scheduled tour we were cancelled due to not enough people signed up. Heck, it’s a small group, how large do they want the group to be before holding the tour. Now we are scrambling to fill a hole in our holiday schedule…

Pete was a great guide! Good driver too. He was very informative and funny too! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour but in our opinion, you could leave The Hague off. The tour was too long. We were exhausted. Could have spent much more time in Delft. Our favorite! Rotterdam we enjoyed too

We had THE BEST tour guide. Pete is fantastic- 10 stars, no notes. I learned so much about Dutch Politics, History, and Culture. For someone who did not do well in school, Pete knows his stuff and is excellent at dealing with stupid Americans!

This tour provided experiences in three areas of Amsterdam - most notably for us, the Royal Delft Factory experience. Our guide, Peter, was well-informed, friendly, and accomodating. Be sure to confirm the Royal Delft if that is what you are looking for. The small group experience is very nice as well.

Very nice day trip to Rotterdam, Delft, and The Hague. Loved seeing the yellow houses in Rotterdam and Delft especially. Our guide, Pete, was very good! Only suggestion would be that it would be nice to rotate seats in the minivan, like they do on guided tour buses, so the same people are not always stuck in the back with limited visibility! And for the guide to be careful of making derogative jokes and remarks against those from certain countries, which is very hurtful to those with family from that country!!

Really enjoyed Delft!! Wish we had more time there.
Reinier was great. He was very knowledgeable and was very joyful throughout the entire tour.
There were too many people on the tour for the size car that he was driving, which was very uncomfortable for the 10+ hours we were on the tour. There needs to be limit of 6 adults for the size car we had instead of 8 adults.
Overall, I enjoyed the sites and the places we visited.

Wonderful day. Our guide Reinier was great. He had the difficult task of keeping our group upbeat during a cold and rainy day. He was both knowledgeable and fun. All three cities were interesting and unique. A must take trip!

Each stop provided a special experience such as having lunch al fresco in Delft by the city hall building or seeing the world court of Justice in The Hague, we enjoyed the experience with a small group.
