Excelente experiencia en un tour privado en donde los visitantes se educan mucho mejor que en otros tours con muchas personas. El guía se dedica a los pocos turistas lo que hace de la experiencia una enriquecedora y con mayor conocimiento. Se incluye un paseo en ferry por el famoso puerto de Rotterdam que ejemplifica lo inmenso del mismo. Nuestro guia Jan nos educó sobre todos los asuntos importantes de los lugares visitados y demostró ser un conocedor de alta calidad.

The guide Andre and driver Peter took such good care of us. My family has learnt so much about the different areas in Amsterdam from the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
