“If you haven’t already booked with Tom, do it now! Tom planned an extraordinary four days for our family during the peak tulip tourist season. We had an amazing private guide (Stan) in Amsterdam for both biking and a food tour. Tom personally took us to the tulip fields, biking in Holland, and to see the windmills, where my college-aged daughter loved his engineering expertise. We also thoroughly enjoyed day trips to Bruges and Delft/The Hague. Our great guide in The Hague (Renee) personalized the tour for lesser-known sites that interested our 20-year old daughter. Tom went above-and-beyond to get us to the F1 race track in Zandvoort. It couldn’t have worked out better as we were able to watch the end of an F1 race (in Italy) with the locals at the track as the Dutch driver, Max Verstappen, won the race! We unexpectedly ran into Tom at a restaurant in Amsterdam, where he sent our family a nice bottle of champagne. Way to go to Tom and his entire team for creating an amazing vacation experience for our family!”
“I can’t rave enough about Toms Travel Tours. I just returned from a 3-day pvt. guided tour with Tom. From my first correspondence via email I knew I had selected the BEST touring company to meet my specific needs. I wanted to visit the areas north of Amsterdam, specifically the picture postcard village of Giethoorn. He created a terrific and very FLEXIBLE itinerary based on my personal interests & activity preferences—-biking, boating, wildlife, & photography. I felt quite fortunate to have Tom as my guide for those 3 remarkable & memorable days. He spoke perfect English and knows his native country inside and out. I learned so much about the areas we visited in addition to enjoying all the sites/activities.”
