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 mostWhat 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 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

Had a seven hour layover in Amsterdam. My guide Anna was amazing. She showcased the history of the city; important landmarks, various districts, food, and culture. Felt completely safe. She was sensitive to time constraints while still proving the best of Amsterdam experience.
