Excellent Trip
The Netherlands
|
Aug 12 - Aug 19, 2026
The best part of the trip was my guide and my driver. Both were knowledgeable, pleasant, and extremely helpful. Lisa did a great job arranging the trip late in the season. The experiences she arranged were excellent. My only disappointment was the hotel at the beach. There was very poor air conditioning, the towels were AWFUL and the staff was not particularly helpful. While the location was great, I would not stay at that hotel again.
Hotel Review
Hotel Mercier was great.The location is perfect for exploring central Amsterdam. The staff is very friendly and and helpful. My room was large by European standards. The mattress was way too soft and the topper moved during the night. The hotel itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated. I enjoyed the breakfast in the bright and airy restaurant. I would return to the Hotel Mercier.
Activity Reviews
This museum is impressive, well laid out and has an excellent audio tour. The grand masters are worth seeing
The windmills are fasciitis see and learn about.i had no idea of the role they played in Dutch industry.
Aisha’s a great public transport system and the OV card made it easy to access the system
This was a very fun, interesting and informative experience. I enjoyed the guide very much and would highly recommend this experience. The food was excellent, especially the Indonesian satay.
The cruise was a lovely way to see Amsterdam. The captain was really nice and welcoming and our waitress was great and shared interesting information about the city. The dinner was delicious and accompanied by good wine. I highly recommend this experience.
I love Van Gogh’s work and really enjoyed touring the museum.
Seeing this house and Anne Frank’s diary and letters was very moving.
Hi Sharon,
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m thrilled that your guide and driver took such good care of you and that you enjoyed the experiences we arranged.
I also sincerely appreciate your notes about the beach hotel. I’m very sorry the AC, towels, and service fell short of expectations. We hold our hotel partners to high standards, so I’ve logged this issue to review our partnership with this property for future itineraries.
Thank you again for traveling with us!
All the best,
Lisa
