What To Expect

Lisse

After a short ride from Amsterdam to the bulbflower area around Lisse, we start your tour by making a scenic ride in this area.

Keukenhof

Then we continue to the true highlight of this tour, the park Keukenhof. Once a mere kitchen garden filled with vegetables and herbs, the Keukenhof - smack dab in the middle of South Holland’s tulip region - now has the distinction of being the world’s largest flower garden, hosting some 800,000 visitors per year. This guided tour will take you through the 15 kilometers of footpaths and 32 hectares of gardens, where millions of bulbs are planted each year. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other spring bulbs of a variety of vibrant colours carpet the grounds. Stroll through the English landscape garden, the Japanese country garden, and the historical garden. Take in the flower sculpture, based on an annual theme.

Judy and I were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Keukenhof gardens. How fortunate we were to have visited in early May. I would include this as a must in any spring visit to Amsterdam. Additionally, the continued visit to the windmills at Zaanse was fascinating. Visit, if you have the opportunity.
Great Tour

Great tour guide - she was very knowledgeable. Our tour started a little late because of an accident but NOT a problem. You can't control the traffic.
Nicely laid out day!

We had an issue getting to the tour on time, but the team were kind enough to accommodate us and get us onto a bus that had not left. We were so thankful, but realized the tour was half English, half Spanish. That was not much of an issue and our tour host was great speaking both languages, but the cheese/ shoe making stop portion was entirely in Spanish, so we did not understand any of that part of our tour. Aside from that, the bus was nice, it was not overpacked and we were given ample time at each stop.
good and planned trip . comfortable
