The tour to Brussels from Amsterdam was a wonderful trip. Our tour guide, Hamzah was outstanding. There was time to explore on our own as well as gaining great information from our guide

Great tour to Belgium! We really enjoyed the many sights and knowledge of our guide. Would recommend.
I will start by saying we caused a delay of starting the tour because some of our group had been taken to the wrong hotel by a taxi. The delay was 20 minutes. We thought the private tour for 9 people would be in the same vehicle. We were split up in two vehicles which was a disappointment as the trip was about getting together with friends to share an experience. One of the two drivers did not speak English beyond a few phrases and therefore did not speak a word from Amsterdam to Brussels. Even when we made our stops, we had no description of where we were and the significance of the stop. Such a beautiful drive through the city of Brussels, but the lack of commentary sucked the life out of that experience. The guide who could speak English was unable to answer even basic questions. When we asked for a lunch recommendation for our 2 hour 15 minute stop in central/old town Brussels, we were told there were restaurants “everywhere”. Our three-hour city stay was cut short which made up for the delay of starting, but the last two stops on the itinerary were eliminated without notice. Very disappointed. No way we could ask why because our driver didn’t speak English and the other guy was in another van. To the credit of both, they were nice. We tipped them both well in spite of our terrible experience. I know there will be some pushback on this review, but bad is bad. The worst they can stay about us is that we walk slow and we were 20 minutes late starting. Other reviews of this same tour had informative and friendly guides who made the experience memorable. We opted for the private tour because two of our travelers are over 80 and a few have mobility issues which we noted from the beginning. We know we are slower and don’t like holding others up. Overall, bummer day for all.
Gavin is Outstanding driver/tour guide/photographer) including recommendations on where to eat and shop chocolates. Very respectfully and made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend Gavin and will hire him again in the future. ESantos
The atonement is not worth seeing, the park is not worth seeing. The church and the center of Brussels is nice but too long a drive from Amsterdam for just that.
Was a great way to see Brussels if you have limited time. A long day, but the Grand Place was magnificent. Our driver Galvin was on time , friendly, had good driving skills and had good suggestions on wat to see.
We had a wonderful experience. Our driver, Hamza, was helpful in giving us tips and suggestions to explore for our day in Brussels. We saw all the things we wanted to see on our itinerary. He was a very safe driver and he was timely and professional. Could not recommend a better person for the job!
Nice experience and professional service from our driver Mr Gavin. We have a good time in Brussels. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time with Gavin for our day trip to Brussels! It was definitely a VIP service from start to finish. He brought us to all major landmarks in Brussels and even took photos of us. We went to the Grand Place and he recommended to us the best spots to go, which we truly enjoyed. Definitely a top-notch experience with Gavin.
Considering it rained the entire day and traffic was horrible, we had a great time!! Gavin was awesome and gave us some great tips on a great place for lunch, which was AMAZING and the best place to buy chocolates, which we did. He even gave us some extra time in old town since it took us soooo long to get there! Highly recommend!!
The trip was seamless. Gavin, our guide, had the day planned through a very relaxed but thorough schedule. Brussels is an extremely beautiful and historic city and Gavin took us to all that count and then some. Plus Gavin is an excellent driver who ushered us all around the city and drove smoothly through variable conditions from sunshine to blinding thunderstorms.
Wonderful experience. We were picked up at exactly the time stayed right at the hotel. The comfort of the Mercedes, complete with phone chargers, Wi-Fi and water made it so convenient to just sit back and ride. It’s about 2.5 hr trip there and 3 hrs to return. Bring euro coins because most of the toilets require change to use. First stop is the Atomium (buy ticket in advance let’s you skip the line) and then to Our Lady of Laeken, The Royal Palace of King Philippe, St Michael’s Catholic Church and then end with three hours to walk, shop and eat on your own at Grand Place. Before you go off on your own we got recommendations for dining, chocolates and waffles that were superb! Of course you can eat anywhere you want to! Nice ride back where we basically too a well needed nap!
This was an excellent day trip to Brussels from Amsterdam. Our driver was aware of the best places to stop and offered to take pictures of us and gave us recommendations for places to shop and eat. We stopped at the unusual Convention Center, St. Michael's Cathedral and ended in the town square with time on our own for shopping and lunch.
The vehicle and drive was very good but having more commentary from the driver or to have a local guide along would make it an overall excellent tour, it’s a perfect drive to Brussels but one needs to do their own research on where you may want to go and visit to actually learn and love Brussels more.
This was a private transfer for our family of 5 from Amsterdam to Bruges with a 3 hour stop in Ghent (transportation only, not a tour). We were picked up on time at our hotel in Amsterdam and driven to Ghent where our driver dropped us off to sightsee on our own for 3 hours (he stayed with the van and our luggage). We then went on to our hotel in Bruges. Gavin was our very pleasant driver. His English was excellent, and his driving was smooth and safe. The Mercedes minivan was clean and seemed relatively new. VIP was easy to work with. We arranged this special trip via their website and email. Thanks to VIP for helping keep us moving safely during our trip.
Our guide, Clifford made the rainy Sunday full of sunshine! He promptly arrived at our hotel to pick us up. He had water available, and the most enjoyable music. As we took in the countryside, he let us know where we were and answered any questions we had. Not having been to Belgium before, we had no idea what to see. Clifford took care of that by taking us to the Atomium!! It was a sight to see and even had a light show with music which added to the joy of our adventure. We saw other sights and even bought Belgian chocolates for the ride back. We highly recommend booking a tour with Clifford, you will not be disappointed. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be taking another trip!
First, our tour guide Andrea was incredible. I only wish I was in Brussels longer to take another one of her tours. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, SMART! Going back and forth from English to Spanish like it was nothing. She gave us information that I never knew. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer. I hope our paths cross again.
Experiência incrível, nosso motorista guia chegou no horário e foi muito gentil e competente. O passeio foi lindo, Bruxelas é encantadora, amamos.
