I enjoyed the cheese tasting and clog making. Our tour guide Rob and our driver Richard made the experience seamless and run smoothly and both informative and entertaining.

It was very nice, but one hour in the Adam Look is very short for 2 drinks. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get upstairs after entering and you have to be back downstairs 15 minutes before the ship departs. That leaves 30 minutes for upstairs, which is very short if you want to see everything. The tour was really great and informative. Unfortunately there are no headphones, contrary to the advertisement, an English version comes over the loudspeakers - other languages via cell phone (if you don't have headphones with you, you have to listen to it loudly). All in all a great experience. Beautiful view in the Panorama Restaurant and beautiful views on the canal cruise.

Despite the huge number of visitors, everything was perfectly organized when it came to parking. Tickets were only checked on exit, which was very quick.

Everything worked well ! The schedules for the four trips were on time, the seats were very comfortable and the overall flexibility is great - much better and cheaper and faster and more comfortable than flying
