1.Keukenhof, Tulip Farm Full-Day Tour with Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 452 reviews · from $96Our pick

Review of Amsterdam’s Keukenhof, tulip farm, and windmill cruise tour, with practical timing, costs, crowds, transport tips, and honest advice.

“Tulip farm was great to be amongst the rolling fields of tulips and Daan was really lovely and gave some information about the tulips. Equally the cruise was enjoyable and peaceful. However, our bus driver didn’t park in a suitable place which meant the bottom step was very large and one of our party fell and twisted his ankle on leaving the bus. This took the shine off our day. Keukenhof was super busy but it is so large that you could still enjoy all of the flowers. It was incredible to see all of the displays and so many different variety of flowers.Read more”

2.Amsterdam private tour to windmills, cheese farm and villages

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 262 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $362Top rated

Explore Zaanse Schans, Edam, cheese farms, and quiet Dutch villages on a flexible private day tour from Amsterdam.

“Phillip was an excellent tour guide with vast knowledge of the area. We asked for a tour away from the tourist traps and he delivered. We saw the windmills up close and got a private tour of two of the lumber mills. We had a delightful lunch in the fishing town of Monnickendam. Then visited a traditional cheese farm. We capped off our tour with a visit to village of Waterland and the unique church of Broek. I am not a fan of big tour groups and ear pieces. This was a delightful tour and well worth the money. Thanks to Phillip for an exceptional experience!”

Review of Amsterdam’s Keukenhof, tulip farm, and windmill cruise tour, with practical tips on timing, crowds, value, transport, and booking.

“From first entering the tour office till the end of the day this tour was relaxed, friendly, informative and at the end, flexible. I am not a great fan of organised tours but this one surprised me. All aspects from the canal ride to the great visit to the tulip farm and finishing up with Keukenhof gardens was a delight. Being a bit older the flexibility to leave by bus when it suited us was a great end to a great day.”

“A spectacular day... Steven was our wonderful guide and we can't thank him enough for a fantastic tour we had in the outer areas of Amsterdam. We traveled from Miami with our daughters, ages 3 and 13, and my parents and husband. The private tour began in the flower fields where we had the opportunity to take some spectacular photos. We continued to a tulip farm where they had a very cute shop, and we stopped for some refreshments, relaxed for a few minutes, and bought some souvenirs. We continued our tour at Keukenhof Tulip Park. It's spectacular; you can see a wide variety of tulips, orchids… We spent about…”

Review of a private Amsterdam tour to tulip fields, Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans windmills, and a Gouda cheese farm.

“My wife and I would highly recommend this tour. Johan was great. He was on-time, friendly, and knowledgeable about the sights. Seasonally, late April would probably be the best to see the tulips fully in bloom. By the time of our trip, most had been harvested, but Johan was able to make it work!”
