I've gotten to the point now that wherever I go, I check to see what Viator has to offer -- and guess what? I've never been mislead. Guides, coach drivers, administrative personnel are all first class.

It drizzled the day we were visiting -- but who cared! Fabulous architecture, choices galore for eating and shopping, and great travel arrangements -- nothing to "dampen" this trip.

Not only was it the cheese market, but also an open market around the corner with lots of shopping opportunities. What's not to like?

Why not hear it from one of the "entrepreneurs" themselves? This was a great opportunity to ask whatever you wanted and see for yourself what is behind the "window". An opportunity I am glad I did not miss.

I could not go to Amsterdam without making a side trip to Belgium, and viator made it possible to do without a big fanfare. Just a click on my computer, and I had a voucher to see Belgium (Brussels and Antwerp) for the day. The way to go!

I was in Amsterdam for two weeks, but this is the first tour I took to get an overview of the country. My idea was a good one and it put the rest of the trip in perspective.

Even though it is easy to get to Amsterdam from the airport, it's the "personal" touch of being expected that starts this adventure off on the right foot.
