“Somewhat ambitiously, we scheduled this tour for 4PM after a trip down from Amsterdam and a morning tour of The Hague. But we were so glad we did…Robin was an excellent tour guide who knew Delft’s history (and present) like the back of his hand, and shared his knowledge with us in a very engaging manner. We also appreciated that he was easygoing and adaptable; there were three tourists in our group, including a senior citizen and a small child, so we needed to deviate from the plan a little bit once or twice and our guide made that easy. We have been on many walking tours in Netherlands cities,…”

“Unser Guide war Michel. Er führt täglich Gruppen in Rotterdam, denHaag und Delft. Er spricht zwar sehr gut englisch, dies aber extrem schnell. Michel spult sein Programm ab. Jeder Satz gespickt mit einem Witz (teilweise sehr abgedroschen) oder Ironie. Allerdings in einem Tempo abgespult, dass es uns nur sehr schwer möglich war, zu folgen. Keiner lachte und ich habe ihn 2 x gebeten, langsamer zu sprechen, doch beides hat nichts verändert. Er hat wahnsinnig viel erzählt, aber hängengeblieben ist bei uns allen wenig. Michel fehlt das Herzblut, für ihn ist es ein Job und er spult einfach knappe 2 Stunden ab, ohne sein Publikum wahr zu nehmen. Sehr enttäuschend!!”
