Hi Steven and Kelly,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience here in the Netherlands. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Amsterdam and Haarlem. We hope to see you again in the future.
With warm regards,
Nadine & Mieke
Nadine was very helpful and really kind, but we were not glad she booked us in Ghent for 3 nights; we would rather have been in Burges. Perhaps KimKim does not have an affiliated hotel or inn there? Our Ghent hotel was quite nice, but the surrounding neighborhood wasn't and Burges has so much more to see and do than Ghent. The altarpiece was spectacular, but that could have been a day trip from Burges.

Hi Jill
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and experiences. I totally agree with you that the smaller, lesser-known places have all the more charm. The thing is, most people want to see the main highlights, like Bruges, anyway. In your trip you have found a balance between the two and in the end your experience was better in the smaller places - which is understandable.
It was a delight organizing this trip for you, and again, thank you so much for sharing your feedback on the hotels, guides, driver and activities!
warm regards,
Nadine
