Day Trip to Keukenhof & Tulip Farm with Windmill Cruise

The Keukenhof gardens were incredible and well worth the visit. The ticket instructions were confusing. When I got to This is Holland, I arrived early. There was a lot of people and employees were checking tickets and then handing out packs and directing everyone to buses. I did not have to show any ID (the instructions said I would have to). I had booked the time slot for a 9:30 am departure. Because I was early, the bus I was put on left at 9:00am and not 9:30. That was fine, I just don't know if this was the "luxury coach" I was supposed to be on. The ticket I ordered included an optional Spring cruise. There was nothing at Keukenhof to indicate how you picked that up. When I finally found someone who had heard of this, they told me that Spring Cruise was another 10km away from Keukenhof . I could not find anyone who knew how I should get there. I still spent 4 hours and had a great experience at The Keukenhof gardens and the transport there and back to Amsterdam worked well. I just don't think it was worth paying the upgrade for the cruise when nobody knew how I should connect to it. Maybe there was a special bus for this trip where people were given instructions about the cruise and I was put on the wrong one?

Le chauffeur de bus était très sympathique et patient. Le jardin de Keukenhof est magnifique ! Pour la ferme des tulipes et pour la croisière des moulins, j'ai regretté que les guides ne parlent qu'anglais. Du coup, je n'ai pas tout compris. Si on avait pu avoir le texte écrit en français de ce que les guides disaient, cela aurait été super ! Merci d'y penser pour la prochaine fois !

Fantastic experience, what a colourful sight .. we should have been atleast couple of weeks before the visited date on 13th May , hope to catch the brilliant experience again next year well in advance .

Even it was not a sunniest day ever, we Enjoyed the garden. The tour with the boath is nice but the instant translation with the phone sometimes doesn't work for internet connection problem.

The windmill river cruise was absolutely fantastic!! Comfortable boat, friendly crew, excellent views. Definitely great value for the price.

Thanks for the great tour. Thanks also to the bus driver Peter, very funny!

Customer service was awesome. Great experience visiting that place. Will come back!!

Very nice experience with plenty of natural flower colours which give positive energy

Everything was easy and the experience was wonderful. The transportation, the trip, the boat and finally the place.

My friend and I purchased the bundle that included the windmill tour. To be honest, skip the windmill tour. I thought it was going to be a nice river cruise inside of Keukenhof gardens, but it was actually about 20 minutes away. We took a coach to the cruise first, and I felt like I wasted a lot of time that I could have been at Keukenhof. I booked the 10:30am slot, and did not leave the meeting spot until closer to 11am. Then we drove to the river cruise, another about 45 minutes. When we got there, we had to wait about 20 minutes to get on the boat. And the boat took 1 hour 30 minutes. This would have been worth it if the windmill tour was outstanding. However, it was jusy okay. The boat itself is cute, you can sit and enjoy a coffee. You get some great views of the local homes. But there is only really one windmill that you come close to. The others are small and far away. The tour isn't that great to be quite honest with you. I would skip it as to me, it is not with the extra money. I would have rather spent more time at Keukenhof. Despite this, when we arrived to Keukenhof I was amazed. It is an absolute must. It is beautiful! I recommend going on a weekday as it is usually a bit less busy. My friend and I stayed for about 4 hours, just walking around, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery. I recommend trying to look at the weather beforehand, as we had a lovely sunny day but others aren't that lucky. Overall I would 100% recommend going to visit Keukenhof!

Alkuodotus turhan pitkä.

I loved the entire experience! We had a windmill cruise and a day at Keukenhof - I was not prepared for how spectacular a day we were going to have - sensory overload in the best way possible! The address link in the email sent did not work for us but we were able to google the address for This Is Holland easily - the only thing I could recommend improvement for. Thank you
