Tulips and Windmills was all that we hoped. The towns and sights were lovely, the guides were knowledgeable, the history and water management were interesting, the waffles and chocolate were delicious and Viking's ship and staff were excellent. We had a wonderful trip and made some new friends.

The town was lovely and our guide, "Jake," was wonderful; he was very knowledgeable and friendly. When the restaurant we were to go to was full after his presentation was over, he easily shifted gears, took us to another place and filled the time with more interesting stories. He even sang for us!

Interesting. Did not know about the WWII history of the area. Terrible.

The essence of Holland! We really enjoyed the barge ride, visiting a windmill and meeting a miller.

Really appreciated being able to see modern but picturesque Brussels (and have a waffle!) in the morning and still have a walking tour of modern but picturesque (also) Antwerp. Both cities wonderful.

Brugge now is one of our favorite towns in Europe; lovely, well-preserved, retaining the look of long ago.

Very very interesting. Our tour guide was one of the founders of the museum and knew so much about the area, water management and the flood of 1953. The museum was excellent.

The tulips of Tulips and Windmills. The reason we took this trip at this time. It did not disappoint; loved the displays, took many pictures.
