The most memorable part of my trip and it was sunny! Got to see the tulips, farms, windmills, try their local foods. Highly recommend. It’s an all day tour. Went back in April for the tulip festival.

Judy and I were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Keukenhof gardens. How fortunate we were to have visited in early May. I would include this as a must in any spring visit to Amsterdam. Additionally, the continued visit to the windmills at Zaanse was fascinating. Visit, if you have the opportunity.

"Great tour guide - she was very knowledgeable. Our tour started a little late because of an accident but NOT a problem. You can't control the traffic "

Our guide Diana was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and engaging. The bus was comfortable and clean. Our time at both stops was more than adequate. Very lovely day.

We had an issue getting to the tour on time, but the team were kind enough to accommodate us and get us onto a bus that had not left. We were so thankful, but realized the tour was half English, half Spanish. That was not much of an issue and our tour host was great speaking both languages, but the cheese/ shoe making stop portion was entirely in Spanish, so we did not understand any of that part of our tour. Aside from that, the bus was nice, it was not overpacked and we were given ample time at each stop.
