Rory you legend! I think about this trip all the time. It was the highlight of my 2 months in Europe. He recommends the best little restaurants, wineries and hotels. Well done!
What a wonderful trip. We were nervous to do this ourselves, but Rory's guide (and his many helpful email replies) reassured us. We loved every step. My wife and I even met a lovely Dutch couple at a small B&B that we still keep in touch with.
