Full description

Experience a full day filled with Dutch flowering fields and spectacular gardens on this guided tour of the Keukenhof Gardens. See rows of tulips, daffodils, and crocuses, all growing in different colors and sizes. Taste local cheese and observe the traditional method of making wooden shoes.

When you arrive at Keukenhof Gardens, you will receive a 45-minute guided tour through the park, leaving you enough free time to explore at your own leisure. Your guide will explain how each type of flower is cultivated and its history and significance within Dutch culture. 

After soaking up the garden vistas, continue to Zaanse Schans, the famous windmill village. Tour the town with your guide. Visit the wooden shoemaker shop for a live demonstration of how wooden shoes are crafted, followed by a cheese-making demonstration and tasting.

Before you set off to discover Zaanse Schans on your own, your guide will give you further information on what makes it a unique village, inform you about local history and culture, and provide you with insider tips about the area.

You can upgrade your tour to include the Amsterdam Canal Cruise, gliding past the city’s famous attractions such as canal houses from the Golden Age, the Westerkerk, the Anne Frank, and more. Alternatively, get a This is Holland Voucher to experience a 5D flight experience of the Netherlands.

Fantastic time exploring Keukenhof tulip gardens as we got to see fields upon fields of beautiful tulips. Our favourite part of all however was the Zaanse Schans tour where we got to witness clogs being made in 5 minutes, taste delicious cheese, make our own hot chocolate, and explore the windmill countryside overlooking the large lake and rivers. Brilliant!

Overall the trip was excellent and I would recommend. Checking people in in the morning could be organised better, it was a bit chaotic! Once on the coach and on our way it was very good. Our tour guide, Fleur, was brilliant. Keukdnhof was amazing and definitely worth a visit at the right time of year. The tulip fields and all the gardens were fabulous. The afternoon spent at the windmills, clog factory and cheese farm was not as good as the morning. It was all a bit tacky really. Less time was needed there or something else to do needs to be added on. Watching the guy make the clogs was interesting but wasn’t long really. Cheese is cheese! You could buy the cheeses in any cheese shop in Amsterdam so nothing really special there. As I say, overall it was excellent.
