Good experience for locations - This tour is good if you are a tourist looking for an easy way to see both tulip fields and the full range of tulips. However, the Tulip Experience part was way shorter (45 min.) compared to the almost 3 hours we had at Keukenhof. I didn’t get to see as much as I would have liked at the fields, but it was still a good way to see the tulips in-season. Don’t expect a tour guide though, it’s self guided.

Tulips, tulips, TULIPS!- a self-guided experience - Tulip experience was interesting. I wish it had been made clear, earlier, that it was self-guided; there is no guide or formal presentation. There was signage about audio program, but no clear instruction how to access it. I wound up wandering thru, at my leisure- learned ALOT about tulip farming! INCREDIBLE!! OH! Don’t forget to get your free tulips at end of tour from the INSIDE garden- DON’T pick any from outside display garden! Take pics- HAVE FUN! THEN- Keukenhof- also- self-guided. Treat it as a day at the park. 3 hours SEEMED like a long time, but the grounds are EXPANSIVE and there are numerous paths, shops and food kiosks to explore. Simply stroll and enjoy the amazing colors and incredible varieties of all the tulips. 🌷 LOTS of walking, so wear comfortable shoes!

It wasn't quite the tour... - It wasn't quite the tour I was expecting, that said it was a lovely day. They give you the right amount of time at the two stops. If you're wanting a tour where someone talks you through the tulips history and local area this isn't the tour for you. You have an opportunity to read about it at the tulip farm but that's it.
Yes the park is extremely busy but you can still have a nice time in the park, it's worth the visit. Just turn left when you enter the park for a quieter path. This takes you away from the famous windmill where the crowds are.

Incorrect Description of Bus Location & Viator Non-responsiveness - The bus ride and of course Keukenhof were very good. However, the bus access is actually a 1/2 mile walk from the 'meeting point' to the actual bus. The bus returns to this point also, 1/2 mile from the 'meeting point.' It would have been very nice to have known that in advance.
Also, I messaged Viator several days before I went on this activity to ask if the 'return time to Amsterdam' was flexible (the excursion said the return to Amsterdam would be at 3:30 PM). Viator assured me there was flexibility, and that there was a bus returning from Keukenhof to Amsterday every 30 minutes and we could take any of those we wanted. In actuality when checking in at the meeting point for our activity, we were told that there is NO flexibility and that we MUST return with the same bus we took to Keukenhof. Our only option to return earlier or later would be to arrange our own transportation back to the city. Complete opposite of what Viator told me.
Because there was traffic getting to Keukenhof, our bus driver announced (as we neared Keukenhof) that the return time would be 4:30 instead of 3:30. So we didn't arrive in Amsterday until 5:30 PM.
I contacted Viator upon my return home and asked that they correct their information on this activity to show that there is NO FLEXIBILITY to return from Keukenhof to Amsterdam, and that the actual bus boarding (and disembarking point) is a 1/2 mile walk from the 'meeting point.' The tour representative led the entire busload of passengers on foot for 1/2 mile to the bus' actual location. This should be spelled out in the activity description!
The first Viator representative I chatted with after the activity kept simply pasting language from the activity description (not addressing my issues) and hung up on me. The second Viator representative tried to get me a supervisor to chat, and finally said a supervisor would have to call me back. Of course no call ever came.
So heads-up to those interested in this activity! Viator is not helpful.

This isn’t a tour with a... - This isn’t a tour with a guide, it is a ride to and from the Tulip Experience and Keukenhof (both are absolutely worth visiting). Two buses left downtown Amsterdam, and there was confusion about when to be back on the bus, chaos at the entrance to Kuekenhof, and after a lengthy traffic delay the buses pulled over and unloaded us a 15 minute walk away from the starting / return point. There was no communication, and it was very disconcerting.

Viator not responsive. - Viator disappears after you make a reservation and give no direction as to where to meet guides for some events. Nor do they respond to emails or texts.
