Netherlands with the Kunstverein Bochum
ACCOMMODATION: very nice hotel, dignified and well-kept, nice and quiet location, very extensive, plentiful and healthy breakfast; staff very friendly and helpful;
FOOD outside: dinner in Delft: was fine; cheese tasting in Amsterdam: not a full substitute for lunch or dinner; lunch snack in the market hall in Rotterdam:: bad!!!! Vegetarian food consisted of fries, chips and something completely indefinably mushy, not vegetables; dinner in Delft: VERY good: plentiful, varied, healthy and tasty;
GUIDES: Isabelle Plomp: VERY good, comprehensive knowledge presented with pleasure in her profession, knew her way around all the cities extremely well, knew how to captivate and inspire the tour group (well-groomed, well-dressed woman!)
Second guide in Amsterdam: seemed disoriented in the city, hardly communicated with the tour group, very unkempt in clothing and hygiene; didn't seem to know her way around the Rijksmuseum either, little knowledge of art history, boring presentation, little competence;
Rotterdam: boat trip in the harbor offered hardly anything, can actually be omitted, but better: qualified city tour with explanations of the modern, partly futuristic buildings and their architects; in the Boijmans van Beuningen depot: interesting, knowledgeable guided tour;
too little time in the Mauritshuis Museum, a visit to the Escher Museum would have been desirable, shorten the time in Scheveningen! City tour in Utrecht very good and informative.
Overall, I think the trip is recommendable.
