The 8 Best Farm Visits in the Netherlands

1.Tulip Farm Visit, Keukenhof, and Windmill Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 456 reviews · 9 hours · from $99Our pick

Full-day Amsterdam tour with Keukenhof gardens, a tulip farm walk with Daan and Anja, plus a 1-hour windmill cruise.

“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.”

“We enjoyed our day with Eric. He was very friendly and very a safe driver. We had a lot of conversations about everything Dutch, as this was our first visit to Amsterdam. Caught up on the most famous athletes from the Netherlands. Eric taught us some Dutch words and we found out we were saying Van Gogh’s name wrong all our lives. We packed a lot of our must see’s in one day. The Keukenhof Gardens were beautiful and the tulips were in full bloom and spectacular. Eric knew exactly which tulip farms still had blooms and we got to see rows and rows of tulips. Just beautiful. Had a…”
