About
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel or other accommodation (within the Amsterdam area) and together you will drive in a luxury vehicle towards the famous tulip gardens of Keukenhof (Luxury car for up to 2 people, Mercedes Minivan 3 to 8 people, child seat provided upon request). This is roughly a 40-minute drive from Amsterdam.
Whilst at Keukenhof Gardens you will experience a colourful display of tulips and other flowers from over 7 million bulbs planted last autumn. Within the gardens, there are also pavilions showcasing some of the most beautiful flowers. Even on a typical Dutch Spring day, you can enjoy a stunning variety of tulips in almost every colour you can imagine.
After several hours at Keukenhof, you will travel a short distance through the flower bulb region of Bollenstreek to the Tulip Experience.
At the Tulip Experience, you will take a dynamic journey through the history, the breeding process and the magic of the tulip. The story behind the Dutch icon is told vividly from the point of view of the tulip grower, who has been cultivating and growing tulips for three generations.
The show garden has over 1 million tulips, from over 500 different varieties. These tulips are planted so that you can get up close to the flowers for the perfect selfie and Instagram moment.
At the end of the tour, your private guide will return you back to your hotel/accommodation but not without driving through some of the beautiful Tulip Fields.
