Amazing opportunity to tick most of the boxes for traditional Dutch experiences with an enjoyable day out. The pace was a little fast at times- but I understand the need to get multiple tours through the itinerary. The audio guide was not synchronised to the trip, and the recordings kept cutting out

I took my missis on the tour and she absolutely loved it, so I'm happy, personally, i don't like listening to anything pre-recorded.

Sarebbe andata meglio se il gruppo del tour completo fosse stato diviso da quello del Tour classico, e se si fosse iniziata l'escursione a metà mattina al posto di mezzogiorno, così da trovare la chiesa di Esami (l'unica cosa da vedere lì) aperta.

We had a wonderful time on the trip - it was a great mix of fun and informative. Diana was knowledgeable and friendly and a special mention to the driver Artemis who helped by unpacking and unfolding the pram at every stop. The day was so well organised. It’s exactly the kind of experience we love.
