The river cruise was excellent and we enjoyed it greatly.
That said, for a group of seniors some of the walking was difficult. Everyone managed but up hills was hard in some.
The other issue on this trip was the lack of time for retail therapy. Either there wasn’t any time or it was brief. Our group always loves a few souvenirs but we just didn’t have time in some places.
We had a walking tour of Cologne but only 15 minutes for the Cathedral. It wasn’t anywhere near enough time. If I’d realized we continue walking but end up back at the Cathedral, I would have just stayed there. That was my biggest disappointment. As well as being in Strosbourg in a Sunday but unable to visit the Cathedrral at all. The line to get in was incredibly long and we didn’t have enough time to wait.
Both of these issues were very disappointing for me as I’d looked forward to seeing both.
Aside from those 2 major issues, it was great! Food was excellent and staff was as well. Marcus Graff is wonderful!
I've been raving about this tour experience since I've come home. I can't say enough about Collette staff and our tour director Michael, everything was excellent! The only hotel I was disappointed with was the one in Brugge, but understand it's a historic building so can't fault them. Bed was very comfortable and rooms are large.
Arnheim Museum - one of the best experiences. Day guide was incredible. I really did want to get out of the bus to take a picture of the bridge. My pictures are really lacking because I have no picture of the Bridge. But the A tour was wonderful
Accommodations- mattress was ok but could have been better. Some of the food was not good- soup and fish. But one fish dish was great! Salads were nice. I had a hard time getting hot tea at breakfast or anytime. Very frustrating.
Delft Day Guide was a waste of time. We finally left her as she could not tell us what she was going to show us. English was not good. I now know what I missed in Delft for when I go back.
Lunch on the boat was too long and slow. A more simple menu would work better with our busy schedule. Being rushed at lunchtime was not good.
Kinderdijk was great. The food trucks and extra time we had there was great. Loved buying the cheese and waffles and sharing it among my tour friends. It would have been good to know how much time we were going g to have- rather than “when the bus gets back.” Very nice facilities. Food at the snack bar great
