I had a wonderful time! I expected the tulips to be the highlight of my 5-day Tulip Tour on the Magnifique III, and yes, they were gorgeous, but I was continually surprised by all the other marvelous things I hadn’t expected. My suite was beyond my expectations, with a sliding glass door and an oh-so-comfortable mattress. The guides (Arie and Andre) were warm and fun, interested and interesting. The upright-style bicycle was perfect for our relaxed cruising pace. The before-dinner tour through the hidden back courtyards of Haarlem was amazing – bringing us past secret gems I would have never found on my own. When we rode through urban/suburban areas, the guides strung together a series of parks, like beads on a necklace. Being on the boat going under drawbridges (and low bridges!) was fascinating. The whole trip was stimulating and refreshing. I loved it.
