One of the best private tours EVER. (The exact tour we took was not listed in TripAdvisior's pull down menu, but it was the 5 hour private tour with hotel pickup). Andrea was so helpful with customizing the places we wanted to see. Our tour guide, Rafael, was a wealth of knowledge and side anecdotes that made the experience even more personal and special. He went above and beyond to get us to tulip fields that were in full bloom. He also found fields they were cutting and fields that were being replanted, which allowed us to see the entire process that IS tulip farming...not just a visit to a park where everything is planted beautifully but with no real back story of the locals and their contribution to this special time of year. Andrea suggested Leiden when we asked to see a more intimate town. Steeped in history, Rafael led us through a wonderful tour of the city, with a delightful luncheon at the Botanical Garden. I can not recommend Raices Tours enough. I wish I could give it a ten star review...they deserve it. Do NOT hesitate to book anything Andrea and her team offer!
Dear Ann and Brenda, Thank you so much for your wonderful review — it truly means a lot to us. It was a pleasure organizing your private tour in Amsterdam and making sure everything was fully customized to your interests, from the hotel pick-up to exploring the tulip fields at their peak. I’m especially happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with Rafael; he will be delighted to know his passion and knowledge made the experience so special. Discovering the tulip fields in such an authentic way and visiting Leiden together is exactly the kind of personal and meaningful experience we love to create for our guests in the Netherlands. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you again for another private and personalized tour in the future. Warm regards, Andrea Raíces Tours
