Belgium Holland Tours and Trips

There is a lot of walking. I did all of the optionals and found that some of them had more walking than I felt was described in the itinerary...

I really enjoyed the self-guided bike trip from Amsterdam to Bruges despite the constant headwind... maybe do the trip in the other direction or rent an e-bike... lol. The accommodations were better than I expected. The app worked well. The bike was fine. Easy start and finish. I will likely do another trip with them in the future.

This is a very packed itinerary with many (up to 6 stops) on each day. It is very important to review the itinerary to see if it is appropriate for you. Three of the days are almost exclusively WWI sites & visits. Only a day and a half concentrates on WWII. The rest of the time is travel and general experiences. Our group was about evenly split between Canadians, Australians and USA citizens and the latter group seemed disappointed at times with the WWI focus.

This is a fast-paced tour. Great for ticking off lots of locations and highlights and covering numerous countries. The optional experiences are all worth it and great value. It should be mentioned that "free" days are only usually a few hours, so make sure you chat with the guide to find out exactly how much free time you have. But the experiences they provide are worth it anyway.

The 8-day Bike and Barge trip from Amsterdam to Bruges has been the highlight of our 9 and a half week European trip. So good to have a great ride every day and go back on the boat each afternoon to enjoy a pre-dinner drink or two and to be served a fabulous 3-course, superior restaurant-quality meal each night, and have a cabin with a very comfortable ensuite and bed. Navigating each ride is an enjoyable challenge and that boat is always a great sight. I could not recommend this trip any more highly. You've got to do it. You'll love it. We made some great friends. Such a happy group of people. The scenery was spectacular. The assisting staff were excellent. Just do it.

We had the best Tour Leader - Alessandro, who guided us with humour and skill from Rome to Siena to Venice to Wilderswil to Bretton and finally, Amsterdam. The best mix of activities and free days, and the hotels were all different and interesting. Our driver, Lucas, was awesome too!
