Amsterdam to Dunkirk with ease - Although I had tried to arrange transportation while still at home for the three 75-year olds who were traveling together, it wasn't until we arrived in Amsterdam that I was able to find Daytrip, a business based in England which provides transportation between cities in many countries around the world. About 6:30 pm, I filled out an online form, saying that we wanted to go from Amsterdam to Dunkirk the following day, leaving our hotel about 9:30 am. I received prompt replay within a few minutes, saying that they're trying to find a driver for and would let me know within a few hours, whether or not they could find one. (If we couldn't find a driver, we would have had to take the train, which involved first taking the train from Amsterdam to Brussels, changing transfer Dunkirk, with an intermediate stop and change of trains before Dunkirk - a process which would have taken about 10 hours.) About an hour later I received a message from Daytrip saying that they had found driver for us, giving his name and car license number and saying the he would be at our hotel at 9:30! It was pouring rain the next morning, but he arrived promptly at 9:30, having driven from Brussels to pick us up! Our driver was very friendly, talking about interesting things along the way and an excellent driver, so we all relaxed during the trip. In a little over 3 hours, he delivered us safely to our hotel in Dunkirk, getting our trip off to a wonderful start. We arrived rested, dry ( it rained all the way) and ready to enjoy our visit to Dunkirk - none of which would have been possible if we'd had to take the train! I highly recommending Daytrip whenever possible. They communicate promptly and do their best to fill trip requests. In fact, we hired them again during our trip - this time to take us from Neupoort to Brussels - another smooth, easy, convenient trip that would have been much more difficult otherwise. Their trip fees are very reasonable and are paid via credit card before the trip, which is very convenient. Give them a try!

Windmills - We both enjoyed walking around the Zaanse Schwan's village viewing the windmills and cottages - time well spent We were disappointed with Keukenhof some tulips were still in bloom while others were dead and left in place. Unfortunately the warm weather was the cause. Go the first two weeks of planting to get the entire effect.

Past it’s best by 4th May - Keukenhof is definitely past its best by the time we visited on 4th May, and as such was very disappointing. Zaanse Schans is beautiful, and we enjoyed it much more.

Very very mismanaged tour and I don't recommend to my friends and families - On 25th April planned tour was Zaanse SCHANS first stop for 3 hours and then KEUKENHOF for almost 5 hours. But the tour bus driver mixed up everything and took us to Keukonhof first at 10am and and gave us only 2.5 hours there and then drove us to Zaanse . It was very mismanaged tour and very frustrating.

Outing - It's a very expensive tour not worth the money spent. Alse Advertisements. It's better to book with a different company as it's not worth the money paid.
