If you are looking at shore excursions not through your cruise line, I would highly recommend booking through Private Shore Trips. Steven Hurley arranged our private tour for our small group of 4. Maria our guide and driver met us on the pier as we exited the ship. She showed us to her very comfortable van where we began our tour. Maria gave us a great deal of information as she drove us around and made stops when we wanted.

We like the private tours Our guide was on time, our van was very comfortableclean. We toured city the day before so we went straight for the country side. I would make sure you toured the city first. We visited cheese farms, the windmills and experienced the making of the wooden clogs. The open air Windmill Village Museum was very interesting.

Private Shore Trips was the highlight of our (12) day European land tours. They had the best guide with the best vehicle at the best prices. You just cant beat the combination. We would highly recommend it to anyone planning a tour.

Thank you for reaching out. The tours were wonderful and both guides were excellent. We had to cut the Belgium tour short as I had the flu and didnt know it. Next time we visit, we will be coming when its warmer.   Thanks for all of your help!
