How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Between mid-March and mid-May, something magical happens in the Bollenstreek bulb region: sprawling fields of Dutch tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, lilies, carnations, and irises bloom in unison, and the area transforms into a kaleidoscope of springtime colors. With your local host to lead the way, you’ll explore the quintessentially Dutch charm of Keukenhof Gardens, one of the world’s most extensive flower gardens. Weave through fields of blooming bulbs on foot or by rented bicycle (this is the Netherlands, after all), or relax on a boat slowly cruising through the idyllic landscape. When lunch rolls around, settle down for a peaceful picnic in the park or grab a portion of small, fluffy poffertjies before returning to Amsterdam via the Keukenhof Express Bus.

I can’t imagine having a better time on a tours. Anna was smart and knowledgeable and she truly looked out for us. She is an amazing human being and we could not have had a better time with anyone else!!!

I highly recommend Olga for a tour. She was a wonderful guide! We had a tour in the rain but she kept it upbeat and positive. We loved conversing with her and she showed us all we wanted to see, and then some! You'll love her, don't hesitate to hire! Anna Potter USA

Daan was very personable and was very attentive to ensure we were having a great time and seeing all the places we wanted to see. He shared great stories about Amsterdam. It was clear he had read the survey and knew our interests. He was fun and entertaining!

Experience of King’s day understanding why Dutch people have such a fondness for celebrating. Many other unknown facts about Dutch history and culture.

Roni Apr 2025

When traveling, we like to learn about the area we are in, as well as getting an idea of where things are; having a private tour guide is a wonderful way to experience a town or city.

Wendi was fantastic. She really focused the tour on our wants, including stopping for specialty food when we wanted, allowing us time to shop along the way, and listening to our feedback to change the tour as we went along. She also showed us some great hidden gems!
