Gardens outstanding all exquisite loved it all
Skip the boat cruise - boring and outdated wish we had
I repeatally asked how far the starting point was from the cruise port.. and was told not far and easy to get to. When we got to Amsterdam, we discovered is was about 1 1/2 hour away.. so it would. cost us about $69$ just one way… very disappointed that we were mislead
It was a pleasant cruise looking at windmills. Seating was comfortable; refreshments delicious. It was wonderful to have the freedom to spend the amount of time we wished at Keukenhof & easily return to A’dam when ready to leave. Delightful!
Wear good walking shoes - lots of amazing displays. Beautiful, must see excursion to Kuekenhof.Tulip gardens.
A well conducted trip to Warmond village canal cruise and Keukenhof gardens. There is plenty of time to look around. Trip guides are funny. The whole trip is worth the money. The customer service executive was extremely helpful over the chat to clarify any doubts and offered all the relevant information. Reaching This is Holland tower is easy as there is a free ferry shuttle across the canal. Customer service at the centre is quick and actually I got in to the bus 30 min earlier than the planned one.
Overall a great experience as a solo traveller.
The windmill cruise with Flip was wonderful! He was FANTASTIC and great with my kids. The gardens were still beautiful even though it was the end of the season. Would highly recommend
The grounds were much larger than we expected. I would recommend visiting in April for the best experience, but it is really a must-see and worth the time.
A quintessential Dutch experience that’s as organized as it is beautiful. It’s the perfect one day sweep of the country’s most famous sights: tulips, windmills, and canals. We loved every minute of this trip ❤️
Great trip and well worth it. Recommend it to anyone. The flowers a
Amazing and the cruise delightful
Very well organized trip , comfortable and clean buses, good service provided.
We spent total of 5 hours totally . First we had a boat cruise at the wind mills and after we went to keulkenhof garden
These Gardens are a "Must See" while in Amsterdam. Such beauty! We were told that the Gardens are (only) open Mid March - Mid May, so plan accordingly. Making arrangements through Viator were very easy. Thank you
Canal tour was a bit slow, would like to see it shortened up a bit. Long ride to canal cruise and Keukenhof but definitely worth it. Easy to locate buses for return trip. Very well organized.
It's a good one. But we moved a bit later than the scheduled timing from meeting point. Overall, Keukenhof though crowded but a beautiful garden. I recommend going to the farm for a genuine experience.
It can be cold in April. Buŕrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Definitely a great trip experiencing the iconic sights of the Netherlands, canals, windmills and tulips.
Loved the canal cruise, commentary was great with morning tea options to buy.
Great thay we had our own time to do Keukenhof, amazing.
Buses were clean and tidy with safe drivers (considering the traffic they had to negotiate).
Well done. We would use this Hop on-Hop Off provider again.
Coach trip to boat takes about 35 mins then nice relaxing trip on the boat. Refreshments available. Coach picks you back up to go to the Keukenhof and stops you off in car park. Short walk to the entrance and then can return to any of the hop on hop off coaches to return
This was a great way to see the tulips. The windmill cruise was interesting and our captain was funny; but the tulips were the real star of our day. You could probably just do the bust to/from Kuekenhof without the windmill cruise and be fine, but I enjoyed the overall experience.
Absolutely phenomenal day! The gardens were unreal and never ending. I think I could have stayed all day and not seen everything. The cruise was a bonus. I just thought we’d see one or 2 windmills, but no, we say more than 10! The boat cruise was an unexpected highlight to our trip. I’d book this again in a heartbeat! Pull the trigger and book this asap!!!
We were lucky to have very good weather. Boat trip comes with explanation which is an interesting add-on.
This was an excellent tour!! The bus ride alone was amazing, showing off the skills of the bus driver on the tiny roads!!
The boat tour of windmills was scenic, informative and fun! Great photo ops the entire time. Grab a drink or snack offered on the boat and sit back and enjoy!!
The gardens were amazing!! So beautiful!! Not only were the flowers amazing, the entire garden was so well manicured, the trees beautiful and enormously tall!! While it was very busy, it's still very easy to capture great pictures without anyone else in them.
We enjoyed at our own pace and was able to return at our leisure, which was the main reason for selecting this tour.
I highly recommend!!
Convenient and easy to travel to and from the gardens. Get there early and enjoy all the beautiful tulips.
There are heavy crowds at times.
The tour was well organized. Enjoyed the canal cruise ride and learned about the history of the windmills and saw a different part of the Netherlands. The gardens are beautiful however the massive crowds made it difficult to get around.
Make sure you leave early from your hotel. The trip is like 40 minutes from Amsterdam , the driver was explaining along the way . The place is worth it , beautiful , so many types of beautiful tulips. You don’t have to stay the whole day . There is always a bus to take you back to Amsterdam Go enjoy , and take your time . On your return stop at My Holland and go in 5D ride .
Amazing experience
Cannot capture the beauty of the flowers- out of the world 😍
Boat tour was wonderful
Crew and staff were great ❤️
Will do it again 👍
Well organised with no hitches. Meet up at Holland HQ and a coach journey to our first stop - Windmill tour. It was a lake tour and a few windmills to admire.Back on coach to Keukenhof.We had plenty of time to admire and photo probably World's best Garden. ( cafe not that good) The coaches back go every half hour - no issues. Great value and stress free
I did not realize that tulips like cooler weather. The high during our visit was 61. We really enjoyed the cruise and the garden. Also, our bus driver was very funny with just the right amount of comments peppered in along the way. Rey interesting history about windmills and how the people altered the land. Keukenhof is enormous but it was still overly crowded. If you go at an off peak time at least be glad if you aren’t bumping into people left and right. Even so, very enjoyable day
The windmill cruise was not as expected. I thought we’d see old wooden windmills actually in use.
The tulip gardens were beautiful! As expected.
What a complete waste of 4 hours travel time!! Waiting at the pick up point for over an hour, then the bus to the windmill canal cruise, then the bus from canal cruise to the gardens, then the bus back to "This is Holland!" Spend the money on a cab instead and save 4 hours of travel time. Beautiful gardens! but the cruise was not worth the time or money, (also I wouldn't waste the money on their apple pie, way too sweet!)
Not exactly what I was expecting, but Tulips were in full bloom and beautiful. Clean and plenty of amenities with several spots for engagement, but wish at some places there was a specific direction of flow as there was a lot of cross flow would definitely go again
We were there on April 18th, it was very crowded, but worth it. The gardens were stunning. You will see more tulips of every color, height, and shape, then you ever imagined. The park is lovely, designed beautifully. We ordered bulbs and the gentleman there was helpful and very patient with our questions.
