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.

Also got to sample a bunch of flavors, so delicious, and finished with a stroll through the barn to visit the cows, including a new born calf.
