- Two reviews, both five stars.

All sales are final: the operator charges 100% of the price for cancellations 14 days or fewer before the date and 50% at 21 days, so book only once your call is certain. Meals and any entry fees, including Huis Ten Bosch tickets, are extra, the price is per person, and the listing names hotels for pickup, so confirm the terminal in writing. Eight hours needs a 10-hour call; the common nine-hour call is too short.
