It’s a must! - Our tour started at 9 AM and ended at 5 PM. It was excellent. David was our driver. I love the fact that it was a small tour of 22 people. We did the tour of the tulips first then we went north to the windmills, the clogs in the cheese, which was a smart move. By going early at 10 AM when we arrived it wasn’t as crowded. Had we had gone later in the afternoon. Highly recommend this tour it’s a must. Three hours was plenty of time to see the entire garden. It’s huge. Tulips are phenomenal worth every penny. Our guide was excellence informative, friendly knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly. We had a great group.

The tulips of Keukenhof: a paradise - We visited the Keukenhof tulip fields in Amsterdam. Easy to reach by public transport. Highly recommended. The pleasure of feeling surrounded by so many tulips make their colors reach the heart and remember forever this beautiful place. Amazing.

Must do this tour! - Fabulous tour! We were a group of 8 and everyone loved it! We had plenty of time at the tulip gardens and they were beautiful! Next we went to see the windmills and even got to go up into one! While there we saw how they make cheese and how they make the wooden clogs. So interesting! Kenny was the BEST guide and he made the trip even more fun! Highly recommend!

The Keukenhof Park Is Not to Be MIssed - This tour consisted of a visit to the Keukenhof flower park, a cheese factory and a village where windmills were re-positioned. With nearly 80 acres, over 7 million flowers in bloom and well manicured lawns everywhere, this park greatly exceeded what we expected. The flower arrangements are consistently changing, each highlighting a certain color of tulip. We spent over 2 hours n the park, but easily could have spent between 4 to 6 hours to fully appreciate the flower bed arrangements. What's more amazing, each Fall the gardeners take out and replant all new bulbs in a different color assortment. The cheese factory offered a good assortment of cheese variety samples and gave everyone an explanation on how wood shoes were made. The windmills are fascinating is how the turning were used to grind a variety of products. Overall, the tour was well worth the expense. We look forward to coming back to Amsterdam and re-visiting the flower park.

Amazing experience, highly recommend - Keukenhof was AMAZING. We had the best time. The flowers and grounds were beautiful. Zaan tours was also amazing. David was the best tour guide. He was so knowledgeable on all things Amsterdam. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the tulips and also learn some history.

Nice small group trip - Nice small group trip. Driver change the itinerary so we beat the crowds at the Keukenhof that day which was smart as it was very crowded by the time we left. Zaanse Schans is very touristy and crowded but it was interesting to see the windmills and the driver guided us with some interesting facts and history.

Tulips and Windmills with a Little Cheesemaking and Clogs factory thrown in - Kenny is a great tour guide and thoroughly enjoyed this trip. A few people had been added to our small group because of a systems era. He was able to incorporate them into the group seamlessly. The van was large enough to be comfortable and the travel pleasant. Kenny was knowledgeable, funny and able to keep our group going without feeling rushed. It was a great day. Would highly recommend this trip and Kenny.

Outstanding tour! Fantastic guide too! - Everything exceeded our expectations from our guide to the activities. Even though it was late in the season, the gardens were still spectacular! We had adequate time to explore and enjoy them. Lunch was excellent as well— lots of delicious options! The trip to Zaanse Schans—village, windmills, clog making and cheese shop— were also very impressive. Again, had adequate time to spend at each and our guide —Kenny?—gave a very nice history associated with each of these. He also gave those of us that wanted to explore a little more the opportunity to do that. I had expected this to be more of a touristy program, but it was nothing of a sort. Very authentic, informative, and a great introduction to Amsterdam. Would highly recommend this tour. Our guide and the small group definitely added to the enjoyment.

Interesting visits - Interesting day, although the last one with tulips, so necessarily a lot of wilted and cut flowers. Interesting traditional village but oriented towards consumption. A lot of people.

Felt very rushed at Keukenhof . - The trip was good and we enjoyed our time seeing the tulips and windmills, however, we only had 2 and a half hours at keukenhof to see the tulips and have something to eat - this really wasn’t long enough and we felt very rushed. Our guide was really good though and ensured everyone was back before leaving each place.
