Some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. The tour was long enough to see everything, and yet not feel too extensive. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Ellen_B, May 2026
Great way to see two iconic sights in one day. Our guide, Kenny, was very friendly and knowledgable. We had ample time to explore both sights and highly recommend taking this tour if you have limited time during tulip season and hopefully Kenny will be your guide.
Carly_D, May 2026
Kenny was awesome! Easy instructions to follow throughout the day as we went on our excursions, loved to learn all the history and he was able to answer all of our questions. Would recommend to friends and family.
Alba_R, May 2026
Very enjoyable experience, the time in the gardens was just perfect, not too long, not too short. Good time to wander around and have lunch there. The visit to the windmills was also very unique experience with plenty of time to enjoy the different shops, learn the history of the place and take some wonderful photos!
Gilbert_K, May 2026
Great trip. Wonderful sites. Tour guide David was knowledgeable Gardens were visually pleasing and there was plenty of time to see
Phil_C, May 2026
This was an A+ tour, not only for the sights and experiences, but mostly because of our tour guide David. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating, especially since most of his group were older people. He was able to make some adjustments that enhanced our experience. We highly recommend this tour and we highly commend David!
manasi_n, May 2026
It was excellent! Ken was excellent driver/ guide for the trip. The itinerary was perfect and he organised it exceptionally well
Jeannette_R, Apr 2026
Well organized and enjoyable day to see the tulips and windmills. Keukenhof is gorgeous and well worth the trip! Everything went well and according to schedule with our guide Kenny. We were even able to make a short stop to view and take pictures at a tulip farm. I don't think that is a guaranteed part of the day. Time at Keukenhof is your own and then you are guided through Zaanse Schans. I took one star away because I think another half an hour at Keukenhof and one half hour less at the village would have been a better time allotment. The village is cute but could be moved through faster. Keukenhof is huge and you have to get lunch while you are there. But overall a great day and very stress free way to see two major sights while in Amsterdam.

A long, but fun and informative day
Our guide, David, was prompt, knowledgeable, and spoke clearly and
loudly. When we asked about restaurants that serve local cuisine, he recommended one nearby that turned out to be just perfect.
Sue_M, Apr 2026
Our guide Kenny was amazing! He was able to get us past the lines and was so knowledgeable on everything!
Susan_R, Apr 2026
Be ready to see all the sites all around Amsterdam, with millions of Tulips. The tulip fields were amazing! We also visited historic windmills, a cheese tasting and clog making. So informative and so much fun. Our tour guide David was great!
Debra_P, Apr 2026
Great tour, guide was knowledgeable and friendly. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joyce_D, Apr 2026
Our family booked and the rest was left in the Tours hands. Excellent visit. Not too long, not too short. It was said we were a responsible small group tour and met whenever time was set, so we got “ to do extras” as there was extra time!
julianne_k, Apr 2026
Tours are as advertised - a long day that is packed with experiences. Our guide David was attentive & friendly and enthusiastically answered all questions.
Lawrence_M, Apr 2026
We were in a van with 8 people which was great. Loved the small group. Our driver/guide, Kenny, was fantastic. He got us into the gardens before the big crowds, lead us around the windmills and was very good at avoiding congested areas. The gardens are absolutely over the top - -exceeded expectations. The town of Zaan was quite interesting, but more of a tourist stop. The cheese place was definitely a shopping opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstration on making the wooden shoes (clogs). Overall this was an excellent tour and well worth the $$.
Pallavi_D, Apr 2026

And responsible person .
Kimberly_A, Apr 2026
Callum was a fantastic guide! Enjoyed having so many experiences (cheese tasting, clog demonstrations, windmill and the gardens). Highly recommend!
Shelley_B, Apr 2026
It’s fabulous, from beginning to end, so much to see and do. The Clogs building display was amazing.
Lisa_P, Apr 2026
This was everything we expected and more. Kenny was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We got to the gardens early and beat a lot of the crowds which was wonderful. The visit to Zaanse Schan was charming and our guide was full of information about the village and the windmills. It was a great day and worth the time and money.
Linda_D, Apr 2026
Excellent tour! David was very informative and made great suggestions of where to start at the gardens.
Aniruddha_P, Apr 2026
The tour operator was very professional and we have an excellent trip
It’s good that we did not plan these destinations by ourselves
Much better with.a professional tour operator if you visiting Amsterdam for the first time
Eva_B, Apr 2026
The tour included very comfortable transportation to different points of interest. David -our guide- was not only a wonderful, friendly and well organized guide but also a great driver ! Which matters ! he went above and beyond to patiently accommodate everybody in the tour, answered questions and gave helpful tips.
Meghan_R, Apr 2026
Our guide David was great! He showed us so much and was very helpful. I also really enjoyed the size of this tour. Would recommend this to any friends going to Amsterdam.
MATTHEW_C, Mar 2026
trip to the tulip fields was great! Driver was nice, on time and informative. Easy pick up location and drop off.
Michael_T, Mar 2026
Beautiful gardens, very well maintained. Nice mostly level paved walking paths. The visit to the windmills was very informative and interesting.
Lucy_A, Mar 2026
This is a small group which I find more personalized and less chaotic. Started on time and our tour guide, Calum (sorry if I misspelled your name) was patient in answering our questions. Booking was the best decision I made because I don’t have to be stressed in figuring out which transportation to take.
Ivonne_G, Mar 2026
Beautiful Tulip gardens, windmills, cheese tasting and wooden shoe shops. Excellent hot chocolate. The cheese had some lines but it was still good.
Roger_C, Mar 2026
Great Experience Calum was very knowledgeable. We had a Beautiful day. The gardens are amazing. We Recommend
william_m, Mar 2026
Wonderful Day and David was a great tour guide --worth the money- we saw everything and it was very fun thank you
Mary_K, Jun 2025
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.
