Amazing tour! Fernando was top notch! So nice not to be shuttled with a herd of people on a bus! Lived both villages and the wealth of knowledge that came with it!
Josey and Mo were awesome. They were patient, attentive and made sure that everything was taken care of. A great tour if you are in Amsterdam.
Boat ride was nice. Boat guide and bus guide were great! Stopped at the mineral and rock store in town- really cool!
Michael, our guide, rocked this tour, despite the rain. He made the trip so easy and carefree. The sights were lovely as well. Ask for Michael. You won’t be disappointed!!!
