Lisa took all of the suggestions we provided and truly tailored an itinerary that matched our travel priorities perfectly. The instructions were detailed and told us exactly what to expect regarding logistics. The pace was at the level we expected with room to seek our own adventure when it made sense to. I would highly recommend working with Lisa and Beat the Dutch travel.
