I want to thank Durgan Travel Service for making the ‘Tulip Time’ trip possible – we enjoyed Holland tremendously! We had an exceptional tour guide for Amsterdam. He was very knowledgeable, caring, and quite humorous. The hotel was beautiful; the rooms were spacious, clean, and very accommodating. The staff was kind, courteous, and more than willing to assist us. The presentation of the food at dinner was superb and delicious.
