There were 6 of us. We all enjoyed the trip despite the disappointment of missing the tulips in bloom. Of course, the Grand Hotel was magnificent and the island a unique experience. Never having been to Chicago, we were all surprised at how clean and fresh it seemed. A special word for our tour manager, Jamie. He was, by far, the best we have ever had. He was friendly, caring, and made this the most stree-free trip of this kind we've had. He was organized and efficient so that we always knew what to do and when to do it. Great job!Show more
