It was my first time with tour4fun and had a great time. I wish that the bus stopped more other places in Brussel or Amsterdam. I did not see Tulip garden during my tour in May.
What I loved: The accommodation was better than expected, considering the price. The first hotel where we stayed (at Luxembourg) was awesome. It was a 4 star business hotel (Melia Luxembourg). It had comfortable rooms, luxury toilets, sauna.., and even pillow menu. However food was a little bit expensive. It was located in a business zone so finding supermarkets nearby was impossible. The other hotels were not that impressive, but they were still comfortable and nice. All hotels belonged to commercial hotel chains (3 or 4 stars), so they kept a standard of service. The bus was very comfortable, with air condition and a single tv. It had a toilet inside but we were told not to use it, instead we made a few stops to go to the toilet. Being honest it was better that way to avoid awful smells considering the long distances. The breakfast was included and we loved it! In general, it was very good in all hotels. They served juices, coffee, eggs, fruit, bread, cereal, potatoes and depending on the hotel they offered other elaborated meals. For dinner, we managed to buy some food outside and take it into our rooms since food prices and menu were not very attractive. Our tour guide was very nice! He was very helpful at all times. He was always explaining us how the day was going to be. He made quick explanations about the place we were visiting and then we were free to go for a few hours. I recommend this tour for people who would like to visit other parts of europe that are not the most famous at all but still wonderful. If you appreciate the little things this is the right tour for you. It is important to say that there are a few famous places included, like Paris and Amsterdam. What we did not like so much: The price we paid did not cover tickets for museums, nor anything else. You have to travel with some cash since all boats, museums, etc are optional. Your tour guide will ask you for the money inside the bus so he can make all the reservations. There were a few things included (farms in the Netherlands, diamond factory, cathedrals), but they were free for everyone. There is a kind of service "tax" not included in the payment. At the end of your trip (at least in our case) we had to pay 5 euros per day. That was for us 35 euros for the whole week. Another aspect is that sometimes we had too much time for a single place and in others we needed more. For example, we all wanted to spend more time in the farms of the Netherlands (they were lovely) but we could not. And in Frankfurt we had too much. Nevertheless our tour guide was flexible with some places.Read full review
The tour was well organized , local guides were hired for tours in each city. I went in April and the Keuenhof Gardens were worth the price of the whole trip- magnificent!! Amsterdam is a very charming city and Brussels does indeed have the.. best chocolates in the world. Read full review

It was a great trip. The iterinary covered all the important must see sites in Europe. Our tour manager AJAX was very efficient and professional. He always gave us a run down of how the day will go and answered all our questions. He was ver..y knowledgeable about all things related to the sites and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We started recommending this trip to family and friends Read full review
I would certainly recommend it, especially for first-time travelers to Europe. We saw so much during this time, all the highlights. Well done! Certainly a good value for the cost.
Thanks, All.
What a fantastic tour. I have zero complaints. The weather was beautiful, Amsterdam is a dream city.... historical, quirky, safe, easy to get around. The Keukenhof Gardens were absolutely stunning. Words will never do them justice.
