    Awesome. It was a great experience. We could book online and with kids. Staff was super friendly. Once we booked then we realized that there are two different company starting from 2 different locations in Amsterdam. We explored these 2 Locations a day before and this helped us.

    The experience was great, but Headout sent me to the wrong location, so I missed my reservation. I had to rebook for the next day at a different time slot. But Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans are amazing!

    Everything would have been Perfect , but somehow the Directions pointed us to a wrong place. The meeting point was said that its at the tour company located in Cafe 1884 but actually the right place was across the canal that we had to take the ferry to This Is Holland. We made it there by the minute. Should remove the distracting wrong location then the experience would have been Perfect. Garden and windmills were Perfect and buses back were Well organized. It was enough time to explore.

    We enjoyed both the windmill village, the cheese factory, and the flowers. Our guide was excellent and gave a lot of interesting information. It was pretty chaotic when we arrived that morning and was very hard to understand what we were supposed to do or where we were supposed to be but once we got that sorted out, we had a great day. you would have got an awesome had it not been for that. I would recommend giving better instructions on what to expect when you arrive at the meeting point.

    Keukenhof experience was good, travel comfortable, guide good. But.... the cheese demonstration and tasting (not!) experience at Zaanse Schans was a true waste of time - not worth the wait, not worth the very basic demonstration, not worth the so-called tasting. We would have much prefered to have more free time to be able to make it in time to go inside some of the windmills that were open and experience that instead.
  • Peace and serenity at Keukenhof

    Your day spent amidst beauty begins with a single-decker coach picking you up from Amsterdam and taking you through the vivid flower fields of the Dutch countryside. Once you reach Keukenhof, spend as much time as you want strolling among the blooming bulbs of 800 varieties of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and spring bulbs. Watch one of the many flower shows at the many pavilions, like the anthurium and orchids show, or marvel at the art installations in the garden like Dolfijn You can also cruise through the blooms on a boat, cycle amongst the flowers, and explore the mill dating back to 1892

    Historic windmills and picturesque villages

    Your next stop is Zaanse Schans, where you will encounter the traditional charm of an 18th-century village with historic windmills and colorful wooden houses. Apart from the quaint windmills, visit the Clog Museum, a wooden shoemaker’s shop, and try some delicious Dutch cheese from a cheese farm. Upgrade to explore the serene Dutch countryside, including the fishing villages of Volendam, or go on an Amsterdam Canal Cruise and see sights like the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum from the waters.
