This is a very full itinerary. There is so much to see. It does require a large amount of walking on hilly cobblestone streets.
We really enjoyed our trip. The director and driver were excellent!

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

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.

I think I would probably have skipped Luxembourg and liked to spend more time in Rotterdam or other parts of Netherlands
