London to cover Belgium/Netherland. Any suggestion?

Have you been to Munich, Erick?

It beats a coach trip to Volendam, Madurodam & Manekin Pis.

Just once, and only to participate in a sports tournament, Martin.

I believe it isn't a recommendation for Munich to be compared to
Volendam.

Yes.

1) Don't try to "cover" two countries in 4 to 5 days.

2) Do some research, buy some guidebooks, decide what YOU want to see
(cities/towns/villages/countryside/mountains/National
Parks/museums/art galleries) and then come back to the group with a
suggested itinerary of your own.

Save me a ticket - that sounds like fun!!

Actually you can easily spend five days in NL just waiting for coffee
to be served. If you want the bill as well you'd best book in for a
week.

Now I think about it, I've never spent more than 3 days in NL at any one
time!

There are no tours of the Heineken brewery for very obvious reasons.

It beats even that. It might be worth seeing exactly what they do in the
brewery.
