We just came back from a fabulous Grand Circle river cruise to the Netherlands to see the tulips. This was our 9th trip with Grand Circle and our 5th river cruise. From the pre-trip to Bruges with its medieval buildings, canals, museums and decadent chocolate to the 10 days on the MS/River Harmony with its delicious food and super friendly staff we thoroughly enjoyed all the stops in Antwerp, Ghent, Enkhuisen, Kinderdijk, Rotterdam and the best one of all Keukenhof Flower Park. The 70 acres and over 7 million tulips consisting of 500 varieties was absolutely breathtaking. Our program director Bob was the best with his very deep knowledge of the Netherlands history. I highly recommend Grand Circle Travel and their river cruises which are reasonably priced and the program directors are very knowledgeable in the history of the country.

Our Program Director (PD) was a gifted educator who delivered daily talks about Mexican culture, ancient history, and current events. The hotels and restaurants were delghtful. As always, GCT scheduled activities to give the group a feel for daily life in Mexico. Our PD, Balam Ruiz, cheerfully handled all logistical questions from our group of almost 40 people, which is no easy task. Balam did an extraordinary job!

The trip was exceptional, seeing Southern France to the middle and then PAris was exceptional. The people, the area, the ship, the employees. All was terrific
