Itinerary
This 11-day guided tour whisks you through scenic Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands. In Luxembourg, indulge in a farm-to-table feast at the horse-stables-turned-restaurant L'Écurie du Parc, then stroll past the 12th-Century Clervaux Castle after dinner. Climb to the top of the star-shaped Mardasson Monument for a birds-eye view of the fields where the World War II’s Battle of the Bulge was fought. Cruise through Amsterdam’s canal district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sailing past 16th-Century merchant houses and the iconic Magere Brug — the skinny, white-painted wood bridge over the Amstel River. Later, join a Local Expert at the Rijksmuseum, where you can view Rembrandt's ‘Night Watch’, and see a shoemaker whittle wood into traditional clogs.

Customer Reviews
Rated Easy Pace. It was a busy trip and a lot more walking than some travellers expected. I enjoyed it very much., but some people could not complete entire walks.
Brugges are good place. Rigk Museum is good. Dutch master are the best. Love the clogs and cheese.
This tour takes you through smaller towns with historic significance. I enjoyed learning about WWII from the Allied perspective, seeing US cemeteries and the continued support from our Europe allies. The Tour Director and the local guides provided an incredible amount of historical details. The drive to the different countries and towns was pleasant as all three countries are small and close together. Overall, a good tour.
I think I would probably have skipped Luxembourg and liked to spend more time in Rotterdam or other parts of Netherlands
The itinerary is good. The hotels not for the most part. It used to be we paid a premium with Insight to have hotels in the center of the city. These were not. And their choice was quite poor. Not what I paid for. Trafalgar had some of the same hotels and their price is quite lower. I was disappointed with the hotels situations. The tour director and the driver were fabulous, which saved the trip for us. However, we will look at other companies when comes time to do England, Whale, Scotland and Ireland. As well, we had other travellers who had done a lot of trips with Insights and were also very disappointed with the hotels. They have noticed the "quality" had gone way down. Thanks.
