Like the lodging accommodations-nice hotels. Only the meal that was charged for excursions ($63/person) in a small village was not up to our expectations. Meat quality can be a little better. The Itinerary for visiting the museum for Van Gough's work was disappointing. The collection that we saw was a private collection rather than going to the biggest museum in Amsterdam for his work. Next time, I will read the itinerary more carefully.
