I was disappointed in the lack of things to do. Way too much time on your own-
And yes I went into this tour knowing the schedule- and as time approached I began to second guess myself on my choice of tour.
From beginning I was disappointed Anne Frank house not on tour also Van Gogh museum. We did get to go to both on our own
We had done France Magnifique tour last October and it was beyond my expectations!!! So many things to see and do with most included in tour we did optional also.

Locations were great and the tour manager was excellent. Included dinners were sub-standard and the overall pace was too hectic.
