First river cruise and wanted to see the tulips in bloom. We learned a lot of WWII history and that was an unexpected bonus. Service on board was wonderful and guided tours exceptional. We took walking tours in both the Netherlands and Belgium and all were informative. We were comfortably taken to the ship from the airport and were taken to a hotel in which we were staying for a post cruise adventure. Pickup and delivery were timely and comfortable. The dining experience, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all amazing and our wine or beer glass was never empty. It was quite educational for us to go through the system of locks to get from one river to another. Enjoyed the Amsterdam canals and the dikes in Kinderdyke. The tulips were fantastic and offered us some great photo shoots. Those who served as tour guides were very good. All of them knew the subject matter and told the stories of each location in an interesting and many time humorous way. We made a photo album of our trip and have shared it with many friends. We have recommended the Tulips and Windmills cruise to anone who would listen.
