Beautiful palace and... - Beautiful palace and castle. When we arrived at Palais het Loo we stopped at the stables and saw gorgeous Friesian horses hooked up to a lovely carriage. The gardens were wonderful as well as the Palais.

Wonderful personalized tour - Gopinath was amazing. Communication in advance was great. He showed up on time. Car was very clean. He managed all the details. We just rode along (and even napped a bit). The renovated palace & exhibits were amazing. And the medieval castle too. He showed us around with personal commentary and we did the audio tours too. All-around a great day! Thank you!

Must do this tour with Gopi! - This was a fantastic tour! Good was knowledgeable and professional. He was patient with my mom’s need to go slow and use a lift. He was personable and kind. This is a must do itinerary, but Gopi made it even better!

Excellent Tour and Great Driver/Guide - We had an excellent tout with Gopi. The car was clean and comfortable. We visited some interesting castles and palaces. I definitely recommend this tour if you want a reasonably priced private day trip out of Amsterdam.

Wonderful tour of castles and palaces - This was an excellent tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see sites outside of Amsterdam. Our guide, Gopi, was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He gave us lots of information about the sites we visited along the way. His car was clean and he's and excellent driver. Paleis Het Loo was very impressive and is comparable to other top palaces in Europe. Despite its massive size, it wasn't overly busy with tourists, unlike most of the sites in Amsterdam. Castle Muiderslot was a much older, more rustic castle that was also neat to see. This tour made it possible to visit wonderful sites outside Amsterdam that would have been difficult to get to if we had to rely on public transportation.
