Tour Reviews

Reviews for Amsterdam, Bruges & the Keukenhof Flower Festival

Date of tour: May 2017

What a delightful tour, we were exceptionally lucky with the weather and Keukenhof was at the height of the season. Our hotel was superb, the best I have been to so far with TT, a tip for the singles, splash out a bit extra for a double for sole use. Tony, our driver did a brilliant job, and the channel crossing went smoothly with no hold ups, we even managed to get an earlier ferry on the way back. I can highly recommend this holiday, thanks TT!

An interesting packed itinerary. Our tour manager was excellent, full of information. His patience and good humour was an asset to the holiday. Very comfortable hotel. We would have liked some time to see more in The Hague, but this would probably meant an extra day on the holiday.

We have just returned from the trip organised by your company to Car Collections in Belgium and the Netherlands. We had an excellent trip and the hotel in The Hague was very good. We would particularly like to thank and praise our Tour Manager Lance who was easily the best we have encountered in many years of various holidays. He was helpful and good humoured throughout. Provided lots of information and assistance as well as spoiling us all with chocolates and biscuits. A real credit to the company. Our driver Gary was safe and attentive and they made an excellent pairing.
