We have an excellent guide Eric who gave us a nice day tour in the 3 areas outside of Amsterdam. He is knowledgeable and open about his observations of these areas and Amsterdam. Delft is charming. Hague is important government center. Rotterdam has the largest seaport in Europe, the 2nd largest city in the Netherlands. Enjoyed the miniature park! Our small group had a very pleasant and informative travel with Eric!
Nice taste of three wonderful and iconic cities! Highlight of the tour, you can visit the museum where the famous Girl with the pearl earing is exhibit.
Delft was interesting. Otherwise the rest of the tour was just driving around without giving us an opportunity to see much.
Despite raining whole day, our guide Simon did a good job in bringing us around Delft ,Rotterdam and The Hague. He's knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this tour.
Great guide who did good explanations of sights and events.
Great and wonderful tour. Many histories learned. Leisde our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging.
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Very entertaining. Patient. Explained everything. On time. Very efficient. Gave us adequate time to look around
Great way to learn about three fantastic towns and cover a lot of ground. The tour didn't feel rushed allowing time to explore and take photos on our own. The smaller group size was nice, it was easy to get to know the other travelers and the fantastic and very knowledgeable guide Simon. I learned so much more about each town than if I had tried to visit them on my own. The van was nice and clean and comfortable. I especially appreciated the hotel pick up.
Our guide, Leidse, was fabulous. Hi did s great job managing a very diverse group. His knowledge of the cities visited was exceptional.
Eric was a wonderful driver and tour guide. Great tour of 3 cities in Netherlands. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed the day 😊 all places were interesting 😊
Very good guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Took great care of us and showed us quirky things.
Very fun experience. Learned a lot. Covered a lot of ground. Lots of information in a short amount of time. Had lots of fun and time to explore, take pics.
Our guide Kai was EXCELLENT. He was respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. He drove well and explained key places on our journey.
If you want a one-day trip to the three major city centers in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, this is your trip. If you like Amsterdam, you’ll love Delft; f history, then The Hague, and for architecture, Rotterdam is you place. Leidse was was great tour guide for dirt-time visitors. He provided a great balance of information and humor at a perfect pace.
Leidse was very knowledgeable and took great care of us for the day. Prompt pick up and great suggestions throughout the day. We really enjoyed seeing the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam.
Our tour guide, Reinier, was exceptionally knowledgeable and quite informative. He took very good care of us as he gave us all the details about these beautiful cities. We loved learning so many interesting facts about each place. We highly recommend this tour.
This was a great overview of the surrounding areas of Amsterdam. The guide provides excellent insights to Dutch life. Simon, our guide, was personable and upbeat. His personal connection to The Hague and knowledge of Delft and Rotterdam was a nice touch! Simon went over and beyond! Best guide ever!
Our guide Reinier was fantastic. So knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged and entertained. The tour was a lovely way to see different cities.
Nicely organized tour. Our guide Pete was knowledgeable and accommodating. If you are in Amsterdam and want to explore these other cities in Netherlands we recommend this small group tour.
Great educational experience, well informed tour guide with a professional manner, given time to take pictures, went out of his way to contact myself prior to the tour and drop us off at our hotel. Very accommodating which was much appreciated. wouldn't hesitate to recommend Eric to my friends.
Very informative and interesting. Duradodam was fun. The guide was very helpful and got us umbrellas before the rain. I highly recommend the tour.
Excellent experience lots of sites and great descriptions and details. Eric was a great guide very knowledgeable and kept group engaged.
Rainier was our tour guide and he did a great job of taking us to these three cities. He gave us a lot of information about each place and was very accommodating to everyone. We enjoyed our trip and learned a lot. I would highly recommend this day trip and Rainier as well.
We had a great time on this tour with our guide Leidse. It is a small group tour (8 ppl) and includes hotel pick up, which is rare nowadays. Our guide messaged the night before to confirm pick up times. All 3 sites we visited were very good and Leidse did a great job giving us an orientation of each place and then free time to explore on our own. He also gave really good tips for food. In Delft, we had an excellent lunch and the apple pie at Stadsbakker is the best in Amsterdam. In Hague, though it wasn't part of the tour, Leidse gave us extra time to visit the museum after I mentioned really wanting to see the paintings there. I think we got back a little late because of this, so I really appreciated his flexibility. Highly recommend this tour.
This is a great tour! A nice small group, not some huge bus. Reinier was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. It was a really good tour with lots of food options. It was rainy for part of the day when I went, but that didn’t ruin anything! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone!!
Great bus tour with Pete! He was super knowledgeable and energetic. Touring each city was nice and easy in our small van. The Delft pottery tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. The only thing that wasn’t the best, you don’t have time to actually see anything. You drive by a lot of landmarks, or stop in front and just talk about the history without being able to tour. I understand it’s a bus tour through three cities so there’s not enough time, and you definitely learn a lot with the amazing tour guides, but I wish it wasn’t so much of a “drive by” tour.
Great experience, the tour guide, Rainier, was kind, easygoing and very good at what he does; the tour was well organized; they tour company contacted you a day before to confirm your hotel and pick up time: the guide gave an overview of the itinerary after everyone was picked up; it was a small group of 6 passengers; the car was very comfortable, and Rainer answered everyone’s question with enthusiasm. You can see he truly enjoys his job. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour operator.
Great way to see a variety of cities. Our tour guide was fun and informative. The small group size allowed easy movement.
It was a great overview of the three cities we visited. We had an ample opportunity to get out in each area to get a feel for each town and history. If you have never been to The Netherlands it was a great way to understand the geography and history of this interesting country. Our guide, Reinier, was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver as he navigated from city to city. It is a long day of touring but a great way to see a lot of the country when you have a limited amount of time.
Kai is excellent driver and guide. He is thoughtful and helpful. Our trip is a very memorable one and we enjoyed it immensely.
Day was very good especially because oir tour guide Liedse who was very knowledgeable, kind and attentive to everyones need in the geoup.
Eric is absolutely great leader of tour He is very good organizer with deep knowledge of country and specific city which we visited today He takes good care about people Me and my enjoy the trip
Our guide was friendly, informative and made sure everything was looked after for our group. Excellent tour!!
Simon was our tour guide, he’s very knowledgeable with all the cities we went to! The tour was small and private, with more focus and opportunity for our curiosities, allowing us to avoid the larger crowds and better timing to see landmarks.
This tour covers quite a bit. Time was sufficiently allowed . Delft was very cute. Seeing the China was a bonus.
A good overview of the three areas. Visited the Delft factory. Very nice. The architecture at Rotterdam is interesting. The Hague overview was good. Guide was knowledgeable. Nice small tour.
Our guide, Pete, was punctual, knowledgeable, and a very good and patient driver. Thoroughly enjoyed the visits and would highly recommend.
Leidse was awesome tour guide and very helpful in taking pictures 😊. We had plenty of free time to explore Rotterdam, Delft, and The Hague. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sites.
The guide was friendly, engaging and efficient. En route to the various points of interest he spoke freely about all aspects of our curiosities. We visited a number of points of interest and our scheduling worked well. Unfortunately there was construction around the ICJ and ICC buildings so we didn’t get to see them.
Leidse, our guide was knowledgeable & an excellent driver. I liked all three stops- Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, but wish we could have seen more about the world court. This excursion was a great way to see more of The Netherlands without renting a car. Good value & time well spent
Leidse was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was well planned and each stop was educational and fun.
Pete was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the history and areas we visited. Having a small can take us around was a nice touch.
What amazing day! Pete connected with us the day before the tour to confirm pick up and it all went smoothly. The stops on the tour were great and Pete was a great tour guide, knowledgeable about the cities we visited, very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend this tour.
This small-group South Holland tour to Rotterdam, Delft, the Delft factory, and The Hague was very well organized. Our guide stayed in touch, confirming the pickup location the day before and updating us on arrival time the day of the tour. We stopped at all the must-see spots for photos and learned a lot about the history along the way. Leides was a fantastic guide.
Leidse was a wonderful guide and driver - he gave us the history of each city and did small waking tours to give us an overview but made them fun and not dry. Plenty of free time in Delft and The Hague which was nice (Rotterdam didn’t seem to have enough “touristy” things to do to have that much free time so that was ok).
We found this excursion very interesting and educational. Highlights included the quaintness of Delft, the Royal Delft porcelain tour, the global justice influence and Dutch political and royal family connections of The Haigh and the impact of war and rebuilding of Rotterdam. Our guide, Erik provided interesting and, at regular times comical commentary about the sights.
Perfect way to explore more with a knowledgeable guide. Loved the flexibility of a small group experience, our guide tailored the trip to our interest allowing just enough time for each aspects of the trip. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful tour today with our amazing tour guild Leidse. He was so knowledgeable about the many sights we visited. Would highly recommend this tour to all
