An excellent tour but for one thing. You use public transport between Delft and Amsterdam. All the return trains from Amsterdam back to Rotterdam were cancelled leaving our group of 36 elderly people stranded. We had to pay from our own pockets taxi fares ((40 euros) to get back to Delft. Maybe better if you used private transport.

Absolutely beautiful with vast arrays of colourful bulbs. Pictures do not do it justice; have to be there to experience the beauty

The tour programme is good but the group too large and the manager not competent enough.

Hotel is pleasant and in an attractive area, but service at meal times was very slow. Prospective customers should be warned that the coach has to park some distance from the hotel (though luggage is transported by van). The Amsterdam excursion does not really allow useful time in the city (even when the trains are running smoothly) and might be better replaced by somewhere nearer such as Leiden or The Hague. The Leukenhof Garden and Delft Blue visits were excellent.
