Our guide provided a good overview of the history and development of the region and an insight into some of the art that characterizes this part of Europe.
Andy was very informative, friendly and a great driver. An excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our day very much, even with this heat. A great guide and an excellent tour.
Andy was the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had. Enjoyed the whole day with him. He was a great driver and very accommodating to our wishes. Wish they all could be like him! We feel like we really saw a lot.
This was a great day out of Amsterdam with our fabulous tour guide Andy. He was very personable and informative. Nice stops with plenty of time to look around and eat. Would definitely recommend.
Andy was sooooooooo knowledgeable!!!! The amount of information that he provided was amazing!! He was also so kind and thoughtful and patient!! The sights he took us to were exactly as described. It was a break away from the traditional Roman ruins and canals. It was a more updated version of architecture and political highlights. Overall, the experience was very, very nice! Thank you, Andy!
nice place to visit i sincerely reccomend
Sweet tour ended up just being 5 in our group. Andy was very knowledgeable and used driving time to explain political, cultural and social aspects of towns visited and the country. So that when we got to the towns we maximized our sightseeing and free time in each area. Great balance. Thank you for an enjoyable day
Booked and paid for this tour many months in advance through Viator. Two days before we were contacted by ALX Tour operator advising us he didn’t have enough people to fill the tour and if we could reschedule. Told them no, as we had limited time in Amsterdam and other days were fully booked for us. Not hearing back from them, we requested a refund. At that point, told they were able to reschedule others to our day. We had already rebooked the same tour with another company through our hotel. After some back and forth they agreed to give us a refund. Our reservation showed cancelled in the Viator system which took away our ability to review them on Viator. We only got half of our money back, rather than the full amount. I would not recommend this tour company. Their communications with customers is poor at best when there is an issue.
Sndy, Our tour guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly, The itinerary from start to finish was thoroughly educational and enjoyable . We highly recommend Andy.
This trip was a good change of pace from the Amsterdam vibe. Andy provided an excellent narration and detailed information in every part of the trip. His local knowledge helped make this memorable. Very generous with allowing us time to explore on our own.
