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.

The day was amazing. They have excellent meeting instructions and the ticket processing went well. Be aware, just because you have your ticket on your phone or printed out, you will still need to stand in line to get your bus assignment. We had a lovely guide, I forgot her name but she was wonderful. All 3 stops were phenomenal. Guide and driver were very professional and informative.

The Keukenhof part of this activity was well worth it although very late in this season which is only 8 weeks long. The windmill portion was a bit underwhelming largely because of the overcrowding and hidden costs (entry to mills). Clog making and cheese making nicely paced, interesting and amusing. Opportunities to “souvenir” shop but not high pressure.

Marianne, the guide, and Anthony, the driver, were great. Marianne was very knowledgeable and shared great info and tips. They both were friendly and welcoming. The garden is beautiful and I think we spent just the right amount of time there. The cheese and Zaanse Schans were great ways to end the trip.
