it could have been better - the trip it self was great but the tour leader thought he was dealing with children not adults and he was pulling people we had in our trip a gentleman with his wife on a walker and he kept telling him you need to be at the end as you are a slow walk but really the gentleman kept up with all the group and no need for the guide to fully him like this , also i saw other guide being with the group but ours he told us info and said you are on your own , just the guide attitude i did not like

Overrun with too many tourists all at the same time. - Tour was ridiculously overrun with tourists and tour buses. Too many tours happening g all at the same time so not enough time to look at sights or hear the tour guides. Tour times were too short to even walk around windmills and take any pictures. Would not recommend a tour for this - rent a car or bikes and do it at your own pace.
