Zaanse Schans Windmills, Marken and Volendam Half-Day Trip from Amsterdam
Tour / Activity
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: We are giving the maximum rating to this tour in spite of the fact that we were really misfortunate in this case.
On Friday, when our tour was scheduled, we managed to miss the bus from the very first stop in the village of Marken. It was both ours and the guide's fault as she didn't communicate the hour to return to the bus in both spoken and written form (as our next guide would) and we got carried away with the cheese and wooden clog presentations, plus the shopping in the store and therefore we missed the departure of the tour bus by five minutes! We had to return to Amsterdam by ourselves and we missed pretty much of the rest of the tour.
But, fortunately for us, when we came back to Amsterdam, we went straight to the agency office and the lady in charge proved to be sympathetic to us (it seems that there are a lot of people who actually miss the tour bus during this trip) and she offered us vouchers for the next day's tour, with no extra charges!
Therefore, we give the agency a high five!
The next day's tour was great and in spite of the windy (cold) weather, we managed to stick to our guide like glue and we didn't miss anything. It was preatty rushed at the Zaanse Schans windmills, but this happened because that day was a Sunday and it was really crowded there!
The trip by boat was rather amazing, with seagulls following us all the way.
Marken and Volendam are two fairy tale villages worth visiting!
Not to mention, our extremely organized guide who managed to keep everybody in place!

Holland in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: We were really fortunate to have an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and with a very friendly demeanour! She shared a lot of helpful information with us on Dutch landscape, history, culture, art, politics, way of living! The tour wanted to be all comprehensive and we pretty much covered everything, even of this meant rushing though downtown Rotterdam and The Hague! The traffic in and out of Amsterdam must be given serious consideration as it creates some terrible delays! We strongly suggest to break this tour down into half so that people can actually time to make some sight-seeing in Rotterdam and The Hague.

Keukenhof Gardens and Tulip Fields Tour from Amsterdam
Tour / Activity
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: Excellent! In spite of the short spells of rain, the garden-park remains one of the world's wonders for its great variety of tulips and daffodils which are so meticulously grown and taken care of! Everybody should take the time to visit this gorgeous garden-park, even if it is open only two months a year!

Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Trip from Naples
Tour / Activity
Location: Naples, Italy
My Review: Very well organized tour and an excellent guide with a friendly, helpful attitude. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and acquaintances. However, the food during the lunch break was pretty disappointing.
