I had a wonderful time. The tour leader Marta was excellent, she went above and beyond. Highly recommend this trip.
- Tina from Illinois (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024)
I had a wonderful trip with a great group of women. The timing was perfect to see the magnificent gardens and fields of tulips in bloom. Chocolate making in Belgium was fun and tasty. I can't say enough about Sights and Soul travel for the itinerary, hotels and restaurants chosen. Our tour director, Marta was amazing and fun to be around as she always went above and beyond for everyone.
- Linda from Wisconsin (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024)
This was my first trip with Sights and Souls and I can't wait for the next one! I went as a solo, knowing no one in the group, and returned with 15 new friends who also love to travel. The tulips at Keukenhof and chocolate making in Bruge are some of my favorite memories. I can't say enough good things about our guide, Marta. I hope to travel with her again!
- Nancy from Texas (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024)
It was a great trip. Marta, our leader, was the absolute best! She did an outstanding job making sure every aspect of the trip was perfect. The hotels and food were good, and the flowers in Amsterdam and Belgium were ever better than I could have imagined. I will definitely travel with Sights and Soul again.
- Gwen from Arkansas (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024)
Loved every minute of this trip - the hotels, the sites, the food. Best of all was an amazing director - Marta. She made us feel so comfortable and cared for.
- Joan from New York (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024)
Well organized, a variety of activities and terrific tour guides. Very good selection of museums and restaurants. Enough free time to shop and walk around. The hotel in Bruges was spectacular. I'll be returning to S&S.
- Kelly from Virginia (Holland and Belgium 1 2024)
Oh my goodness! So many wonderful sights, smells and sounds! The rainbow of flowers, the scent of chocolate, and the bells of so many churches ... not to mention the continuous laughter of the ladies in our group! There isn't one experience -- there were to many to count! From the first night on our dinner canal cruise straight to the end in Bruges. It was a great tour with an amazing group of women!
- Kermala from Michigan
I absolutely loved the flower market and the Keukenhof Gardens the most. Even though it was raining, Kinderijk was also fabulous. But then, Bruges was a wonderful spot to spend time, as well. It was an excellent tour.
- Ellen from Texas
Nothing is more beautiful than Holland and Belgium in April. My tour covered all of the iconic experiences including beautiful gardens, incredible museums and glimpses into the local cultures. I loved everything about my tour but especially the opportunity to share it with such a fantastic group of women.
- Diane from Oklahoma
This was such an amazing experience!! Great itinerary, accommodations and restaurants. Thank you all who helped put this together I will be eternally grateful for the experience!
- Rebecca from New York
This was my first trip with Sights and Soul after several years of traveling with other groups. I was very impressed with the overall quality of the trip. The accommodations and meals were topnotch. The guides in all the cities were very knowledgeable and shared pride in their area.
- Patricia from California
Our journey to Holland and Belgium was BEYOND anything I could have hoped for!! Marina was a smiling, whirling GEM of a leader and person! Every chapter of the amazing 9 days was splendidly curated with superb guides, DIVINE eateries and gob-smacking history, architecture and all that is magnificent about that part of Europe. I feel rejuvenated and most fortunate to have taken the journey with so many neat gals with Sights and Soul.
- Lynn from Maine
The best experiences during the tour were the flower auction and Keukenhof. It was a great trip.
– Nera from North Carolina
This was my first “solo” trip. I enjoyed the company of the other women and always having someone to tour or eat with if I chose. I really enjoyed having to only change hotels once. I especially like the hotel in Bruges. The rooms were fabulous! I enjoyed being able to walk around the historic district in my free time.
– Suzann from Texas
The best experiences were all the “factories” – flower auction, cheese, Delft and chocolate; Anne Frank’s house was profound; Keukenhof was gorgeous; and all the canal rides were fun, and face another perspective of a city. This was a wonderful trip – very well organized with two interesting countries. My favorite meal was at Le Petit Grand in Bruges – yum!! Both hotels were excellent. Special kudos to Grand Hotel Casselbergh for opening their full breakfast buffet at 6:00AM for our oh-so-early departure to Brussels airport. I liked having the Vamoos and WhatsApp for use on the trip. April’s pre- and post-emails were both helpful and caring. I really like the limit of 16 women.
– Ellen from North Carolina
The tour had nice women, and a wonderful tour director. The best experiences were the Flower Auction, the bike tour in Kinderdijk and Keukenhof.
– Valerie from Florida
Biking through the windmills was an amazing experience. The hotels and restaurants were very nice and the food was delicious. My first Sights and Soul trip was a wonderful experience. I went on the trip not knowing anyone and have never traveled to Europe before but everyone on the tour made me feel like we have known each other forever.
- Ashley from Pennsylvania
Precious moments, biking along the windmills and beauty, plus everything offered! Five-star meals! Every day a wonder! Renata is a gift! I loved her sincere and gentle manner. That coupled with her genuine care and knowledge makes her so special. Thank you for your professional staff and I look forward to each and every adventure ahead!
- Karen from New York
Wonderful tour. Lots of variety, both urban and rural. It was nice to only move hotels once. Good choice of hotels and restaurants.
- Mary-Louise from Minnesota
Can't say enough about the wonderful trip. From the hotels to the tours and the restaurants, everything was top notch and I could tell that there was a lot of thought and planning into the process. Our tour guide Kerry was fabulous, she really went above and beyond in making sure we were all well taken care of. I will be recommending Sights and Soul and look forward to taking another trip. I have traveled with another women's travel group and Sights and Soul is by far a better company in so many ways. Thanks for making the trip to Holland & Belgium a memorable experience!
- Kathleen from Illinois
This was a great tour. Excellent excursions were included, great guides, restaurants were fantastic. Other tour participants were friendly. We had a great time.
- Tina from Massachusetts
I loved this tour! The combination of natural beauty, artistic perfection, wonderful cities and small towns was just great. Each day brought more adventures to be excited about. The hotels, especially in Bruges, were wonderful. Adored Grand Casselburg Hotel. Food was glorious. The restaurants were so well chosen, great food and atmosphere. Finally, what a great group of women were on this tour! I’ve made a bunch of new friends with whom I look forward to traveling.
Amy from Massachusetts
This tour was amazing, from the food, sights, smells and the group of people. I have wanted to see the Netherlands and Belgium for as I can remember, and this trip exceeded my expectations and will be the trip I will always remember. Marta was amazing. She brought the tour to life and has the patience of a saint!
- Tiffany from Wisconsin
Everything about this trip was well planned, the hotels, the restaurants, the activities, the sights, our tour leader – all outstanding.
- Cynthia from Pennsylvania
If a picture is worth a thousand words, than being there is worth a million. This was an exceptional trip. I was swept over with emotion at the beauty of the tulip fields and the flowers at the Keukenhof Gardens. The entire tour was one great experience after another, I will definitely go with Sights and Soul Travels again. Thanks again to Marta, she was a wonderful tour guide.
- Beverly from Florida
The trip was Awesome! Marvelous! Fantastic---as always. The choices of activities, accommodations, and restaurants were superb. On a scale of 10, this trip gets an 11. Thank you and many thanks to Marta who made this trip a success. The choreographing of schedules is complex and Marta made it seamless and transparent and did so cheerfully. She is a real pro at herding cats ! I can't wait for the next trip with Sights and Souls.
- Connie from Oregon
You do everything upscale. I like that. From the moment you land until you take off for home. Everything is planned and everything is the best that there is.
