Twice in one year and we’re looking for more!

After the terrific success of our 5 day Tulip Tour this spring, we naturally had high expectations for this eight day trip from Amsterdam to Brugges. Without a doubt those expectations were matched, and even exceeded a little! We were on the same boat as we were in April, and it is still as lovely as it was. We were very excited to see that our chef, John, from our previous trip was also on board. He recognized us immediately and gave us exceptionally warm welcomes. The rest of the crew were terrific, and our guides Hans and Wilfred were outstanding. On several occasions they modified what the cycling plan for the day was based on road conditions/closures, and weather. They made the right call every time! We appreciate the fact that they can exercise their discretion in this manner. These vacations are exceptionally good value, and we felt that we were more than just tourists, because we became a part of the every day lives of the people and places we saw. I would much rather cycle beside and through the farms, fields, and villages, then look at them from the deck of a passing boat. Now to figure out which one we’re going to do next!
