Had a lovely trip on the canals! Our Group appreciated the historical information provided by Captain Caleb! The city lights were absolutely gorgeous at night time, and the boat was very comfortable ! Lovely night ! I would recommend taking a trip down the canals “with locals “ for your next visit to Amsterdam!

Keukenhof

We were a party of 4 and had a fantastic tour with Arun at Keukenhof which is an amazing place! Arun arranged the public transportation, train and bus both very comfortable, and we traveled together arriving when the park opened. Thanks so much Arun for arranging an early start which allowed us to enjoy a good amount of time viewing the flowers without the crowds. He navigated our visit perfectly...made sure we visited the best parts of the park, shared lots of interesting information and gave us time to take photos while ensuring our group did not get separated once the park got busy. The visit was one of the highlights of our trip. I also wanted to say that pre-tour communication with Arun was excellent, and the meeting place was easy to find.

Best way to Experience Gardens!

We had Arunabha earlier this AM for the 10 Taste Food Tour and we continued with him on this Tour! We took the train to the Bus station to go the gardens. Nice 45 ish ride. He told us people usually stay about 2 or 3 hours! At first we were hmm what could be there for that long!? Lol! Well, there is! We visited a week before the gardens would be closed ( completion of harvest) I so Glad we made it! Beautiful & Breathtaking Flowers as Far as the eyes can see! One member of our group of 6 was using a walker and Arunabha made sure Our Experience was well tailored for a full & Leisure Tour. He is well Vered Historian & Author who made both Tours Memorable! We did stay almost 3 hours! The exhibits and the Peacefulness of the Gardens are a Must see! And seeing it with a guide so you won't walk around Willy Nilly is a Bonus!!
