Belgium Tours in Spring

I was interested in the locations, but NOT any of the war commemorations - especially NOT the American self-congratulatory excursions. I think they do not belong in a tour of this kind. People should / could participate in a WW2 tour. So there were quite a few excursions I did not participate in for that reason. For me, this tour was about visiting three countries I’ve not previously visited. So this tour did that very well.

The tour covered each country comprehensively with many optional excursions to choose from and enhance your holiday. Tour gave ample free time and days were not too long. Tour guide and driver were very knowledgeable and friendly.

Very well organized. Tour guide,, was excellent and knew so much about every destination. Also, had excellent bus driver. They worked so well together. Liked the small group of 28.

Itinerary was good. We saw a lot of places we would not have seen if we traveled on our own. Staying in one hotel for more than 1 night helped slow down the pace a little bit. We could not go to The Hague due to protests. I would suggest that if visiting The Hague, include a visit to Maurithuis museum to show guests The Girl with A Pearl earring. We would have loved to have seen the painting. Other people on our tour wanted to see it as well. Our Tour Director managed to get tickets to Anne Frank House and that was added to Van Loon Museum as optional tour. This was a great addition as we could not get tickets on our own to visit the Anne Frank House! Trafalgar should try to include that museum on this itinerary as well.

This is a perfectly paced tour for those looking to explore this part of Europe. A good mix of group time and explore on your own! was the best Tour Director and was the best bus driver!!!

We saw a lot in the week we were there. I would have liked to have had one more day in amsterdam. The hotels were very nice with a good breakfast.
