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.

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.

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.

    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!
