Additional Information

This is a unique tour that only operates in the spring months of March, April, and the early part of May. Get a chance to witness the best of what Holland can offer during spring: tulips, windmills, and the splendid countryside. On our exclusive tulip tour, we will take you through the renowned flower fields near Lisse and Keukenhof in Holland. We navigate the terrain using a small van that can reach viewpoints and locations not accessible to large tour buses. The flowering in the fields around Lisse and Hillegom is dependent on weather conditions, including temperature, rainfall, and sunlight. In addition to the flower fields, we will also take you to the Keukenhof, which is the largest flower garden worldwide. Next, we head to the Zaanse Schans windmills, which is the best spot in Holland to witness old windmills. On our way back to Amsterdam, we make a pitstop at the Simonehoeve cheese farm for some cheese tasting. We are adaptable and can modify the tour according to your preferences. Lunch is not provided, but you have the flexibility to decide when and where you would like to have your meal.

Great excursion! - This excursion was the highlight of our week! Philip was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and patient answering LOTS of questions. We first went to keukenhof gardens--definitely buy the pass to the park. I'm not sure why it would be offered without the entrance because if you're going to see the tulips you need to be in the park. The cheese stop was a smaller family-run business so not quite as crowded as some others and PLENTY of samples. Learning about the wooden shoes was very interesting too. We loved visiting the windmills and because Philip had been a miller at the sawmill we really learned a lot and got to see the innerworkings. We had lunch in a super cute town, Monnikadam, which was definitely worth the visit. All in all, a great day! Thank you Philip!!

Perfect day! - Amazing day out without worrying about transfers and buses. Phillip was our personal guide through the tulips and the windmills. We even stopped at the beach! Phillip customized our day to what suited us.

Highly recommend Philip!!! - Philip was amazing! He knew all the ways to allow us to see the beautiful gardens and other sights, without all the crowds. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Allowing us to set our own pace and didn’t rush us at all. On reflection we wish we had tipped him more!!!

Fantastic private tour, Keukenhof, windmills and more - Teun, our guide for the day was wonderful. We were picked up at our hotel in Amsterdam and headed to Keukenhof where he gave us some pointers and then let us wander at our own pace. Keukenhof was spectacular. Afterward we stopped at a tulip field to get pictures of the vast expanse of tulips. We then stopped for some lunch and then headed to see some Windmills, got to see the inner workings, some great photo opportunities. Next stop was a cheese and clog maker. Here we got a very personal tour and demonstration and got to taste lots of varieties of cheese. Of course we had to buy some to take home. Finally we drove thru a little picturesque village called Broek in Waterland on our way back to Amsterdam. Teun was a great guide and we had a fantastic day. This is the way to maximize your day with door to door service and the ability to customize your day. I wholeheartedly recommend this private tour. Thank you Teun😀

My dream came true!! - I always wanted to see the tulips and finally got my wish. I am so glad we took a private guided tour. Philip is such an excellent guide, with massive knowledge about the Keukenhof, the flowers and the windmills. He is so patient with our questions and even more patient with the questions thrown at him by my two kids. He answered them all gladly. We have learned a lot about the history of tulips and windmills, I highly recommend doing this.

Fantastic way to see so much in one day. - What an experience! Teun picked us up at the lobby of our hotel, was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. As we drove to our four events (Tulips, lunch on the beach, windmills, cheese factory) he was always informing us of what was around, the history and more. Ended up being a little longer than the designated 8 hours but it was Good Friday. Never felt rushed and would recommend this over a bus tour. Having a private driver to take you straight to your destinations and straight to the entrances was well worth the price.

Tulips, Windmills & Cheese! - We had a fabulous day visiting Keukenhof, the windmills and a cheese museum with Teun. It was absolutely lovely and I would highly recommend his tour. He is knowledgeable and engaging. Our three teenagers love the day too!
