Our son did 100% of the planning for this amazing trip to the Netherlands with Miecke. Absolutely everything from the hotels, to the itinerary, to the restaurant recommendations , to the guides, was perfect. All of our ticket purchases for admissions to museums events, etc. as well as train tickets, transportation passes were all purchased in advance. Everything went smoothly in everything that we did. We had one guided tour in Amsterdam with Caroline. She really customized it to what we were interested in and we learned so much from her. We used a driver Maartin who was so nice, pleasant.

It was such a cool place. So different from anything we have ever stayed in.
Location
Not sure about the location. It was accessible for us to get to the water bus so that we could get to the windmills. That was all we did. It may have been a little far from the center of town.

Stairs to the loft were a little treacherous. But we took it slowly, and were safe.

Easy to use the past, but very often it was quicker to walk than to take the tram

This was the first thing we did the morning we arrived in Amsterdam. We had an hour and a half private canal tour, which was wonderful. The guide was very informative, and because it was so early in the morning he was able to take us further in the canals, and he would’ve been later in the day.

Spectacular! Words and pictures do not begin to describe what these gardens look like. They are so beautiful. Some thing I have wanted to see for many many years and so glad to be able to check it off my bucket list!
