Historical walking tour with guide Cor van der Pol.

Een interessante rondleiding.

Cor is een prachtige verteller. We hebben alle zeven genoten van zijn uitleg.

Bijzonder om Terschelling zo te ontdekken

Enthousiaste en boeiend vertellende gids die veel wist van het eiland en haar geschiedenis. We hingen aan zijn lippen!

Gids weet heel veel, vertelt leuk, maar is wel langdradig

Cor weet echt heel veel en dat wil hij ook allemaal vertellen. De informatiedichtheid is erg groot, te groot op een aantal punten. Hierdoor gaat het allemaal erg langzaam en stonden we minimaal 30 minuten bij het eerste huis. Afhaken ligt dan op de loer, uitlopen ook.
