Nice views and easy travels via bus. Group was a bit large, some people were pushing and shoving. Tour itself was nice.

Seeing the windmills and various demonstrations. Also the chocolate and having lunch at the cafe. There was not a lot of walking and I could manage with my cane.

Unfortunately I could not go on this trip, but My three friends went. While they said the tour was good, they were disappointed that the trip was overbooked by 11 people & the tour would not leave until 11 people volunteered to wait for the next tour which left 45 mins later which no one wanted to do.. The knock on to this was the tour leaving 30mins late. My friends also said it was frustrating being on a tour with 3 languages the guide said she couldn't go into all the details on the tour as she didn't have time, having to do 3 translations.
