What people love about River Cruise Tours in Netherlands
- Tulip Serenade - AMADEUS Cara (Amsterdam - Amsterdam)
Everything was wonderful!
The boat and staff were excellent. The cities visited were beautiful. As for the excursions, the chocolate and beer tour was more focused on beer and a little disappointed chocolate part was too brief and not what expected. One tour we paid to see paintings inside a church did not happen due to Good Friday Mass. we were rushed around the city fast pace turned into level 4 walk when expected level 2 and guide although knowledgeable was rude and argumentative when asked to slow down. Lastly wished more time with tulips.
