- JMJulie· November 16th, 2019Loved the tour and the included excursions. It would have been good to spend less time in Amsterdam and extra time sailing during the day. Also, a disco of an evening would be great!Trip date: October 2019
Carol· October 27th, 2019It was a great tour. There were a few thinks that could have been better.
