The perfect escape from Amsterdam, very private! - We had a blast! Paulina, our guide, was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. She showed us these adorable Dutch villages that totally fit the stereotypes about this country! The driver was really polite, and our minivan was super comfy. Thanks a bunch to the company for setting it all up!
