We returned from our journey to Amsterdam yesterday, and on behalf of all of us travelers I want to tell you that our trip exceeded our expectations in every way. The local guides (Paula, Rob, and Martin) were extremely knowledgable, friendly, and fun; the Hotel Estherea was beautiful and comfortable, and its staff was uniformly friendly and extremely accommodating. All connections, including the trips to and from the airport, were easily made, and the daily drivers were expert, careful, and friendly. As expected, a highlight of our trip was the day we spent with Rob, which included an emotional visit to the synagogue where Sara’s parents were married, and a discussion with a Synagogue board member who provided interesting information about the temple and its history. Also, the private canal tour on our last evening was something none of us will ever forget. The weather was beautiful; the food was delicious; and our captain/host (Chuck) was delightful. Overall, we could not have asked for a more interesting, fun, and satisfying visit to Amsterdam – a city that is very easy to love!
So thank you and Gil Travel for all your assistance with this journey!
