Embark on a guided tour from Amsterdam to explore the largest flower garden in Europe and experience traditional Holland. Revel in the tranquillity and charm of the Dutch villages of Zaansee Schans, Volendam, and Marken, while immersively experiencing the riot of colours and scents at Keukenhof. This day-long excursion whisks you away from the bustling heart of Amsterdam to the serene countryside beyond.
Your journey begins with a trip from Amsterdam Central to the open-air museum of Zaansee Schans. Here, you can admire and visit the iconic windmills before moving on to the traditional fishing villages of Volendam and Marken. Discover local crafts and products that these charming hamlets are known for.
Next, board your coach to head south towards the verdant gardens of Keukenhof. Please note, the sequence of the tour may vary. Upon arrival at this world-renowned flower park, you'll be granted fast-track admission. Prepare to be dazzled by over seven million tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils in every conceivable colour, shape, and size. You'll have ample time to wander through the park and even purchase tulip bulbs as souvenirs.
Lastly, delve into authentic Dutch culture with a visit to a local bakery and cheese factory, complete with a cheese tasting session. Witness a live demonstration by a traditional clog maker and round off your day with a relaxing boat trip on the IJsselmeer lake.
