We had a great trip!!! The Zwaan was perfect for us as were our guide, the owner/operators of the boat and the meals.

The windmills, tulip fields and small towns we visited en route were just great.

 1  Chappell Wonderful Holiday 2010-11-26
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful holiday spent on the Wending last week. Our guide was Laura, full of energy and good cheer and very knowledgeable ... view more about the area. The routes she took us on were a good mixture of countryside and towns, with most of the journey away from traffic. The barge crew was Jan, Gerdy and Agnes and they made us feel most welcome and comfortable on the barge. Gerdy is an excellent cook and we were well fed throughout the week.
