    We did this tour in the summer and really enjoyed the scenery. We enjoyed the experience from the moment we were picked up until we left (with a lot of regret). We met some great people and the scenery will remain etched in my mind.

    Very good price and the best thing for me was the cheese and stroopwafels tasting. Very tasty and typical.
