Caught up on the most famous athletes from the Netherlands. Eric taught us some Dutch words and we found out we were saying Van Gogh’s name wrong all our lives. We packed a lot of our must see’s in one day. The Keukenhof Gardens were beautiful and the tulips were in full bloom and spectacular. Eric knew exactly which tulip farms still had blooms and we got to see rows and rows of tulips. Just beautiful. Had a…”

“Our guide, Martin, was kind, knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and knew just what to do and what not to bother with. The Tulip Experience was LOVELY and a good lesson, but Kuekenhof was AMAZING!!! Then we learned quite a bit visiting the windmills (great souvenir shopping), and then off to the farm we went. We were awed at the farm and how wonderfully they are treating the cows for the best product. Were we not traveling internationally, I would have purchased several cheeses to take home.”
