A very well organized visit, taking advantage of the time to get to know in one day a very interesting area, especially highlighting the walk through the port of Rotterdam that gives a very complete idea of what the port means for that country, and the new architecture that has changed the image of the city in a positive and modern sense.

The trip was very well organised and the coach transfer was very easy. The tulips at Keukenhof were beautiful. We visited over the Easter weekend in April and it was a really good time as nearly all the flowers were in full bloom. It did get very very busy so we were glad we went in the morning first thing. Would definitely recommend a visit

The experience was great, but Headout sent me to the wrong location, so I missed my reservation. I had to rebook for the next day at a different time slot. But Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans are amazing!

We loved the Zaanse Schans area and everything included in our tour. Our guide was welcoming, very well informed and patient. The bus ride was comfortable and easy to access. The difficulty for us was the sheer number of people (herding cats) and the duplicity of two languages. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that more than the language you signed up for was going to be included. This fact only allows the guest half-time with their guide. When you factor this in, unfortunately, it goes from great to only good.
