Great day trip to Belgium

The tour was very organized. I really enjoyed the places we visited. Jorge is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and intelligent. The bus was very comfortable and the trip was smooth. I do recommend to increase the temperature a bit as through out the trip the bus temperature was very cold. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it to everyone.

Extreme heat

The tours and the guide were great. However, it was a very hot day and the air conditioner on our bus was not working and would not cool. Everyone on the bus was miserable on the ride from Brussels to Bruges and from Bruges back to Amsterdam. We all were hesitant to purchase chocolates for fear that they would just melt on the bus back to Amsterdam. At the halfway point back to Amsterdam, we had to stop to change bus drivers. The new bus driver tried unsuccessfully to get the air conditioner to work but then opened the roof hatches so that some outside air could circulate. Everyone was glad to get off that bus.

No AC

The guide, Andrea, was great. However, the bus didn’t have AC and it was 30 degrees. The bus felt like an oven which made our trip more difficult to enjoy. Shout out to the guy who bought ice for everyone. Bruges is definitely a place to see.

Do not choose Viator/ Amigo tours

Terrible experience with viator and Amigo tours, no communication from the tour guide and we ended up missing the trip , they did no refund inspite of the huge money paid. Please be aware as they had no courtesy to follow up on the partial refund atleast. The first and foremost job a tour guide does is to call and check on the travellers before time but they did nothing. The Amigo tour customer service is pathetic as they were too rude to address the issue. We will never choose this same travels again.
