WINDMILL CRUISE

Admire Dutch scenery from the unusual vantage point of the river while taking a leisurely one-hour windmill tour and watching numerous Dutch windmills in work.

The windmill cruise starts at Warmond, which is five meters below sea level and one of the lowest locations in the Netherlands. Explore the Holland lowlands. During our unique windmill cruise, you will see working windmills as we take you from Amsterdam to the lowest points in our nation.

KEUKENHOF

Next, we head to the park Keukenhof, which is the tour’s real highlight. Situated in the heart of South Holland’s tulip area, the Keukenhof was once just a vegetable and herb garden. Today, it is home to some 800,000 tourists annually and holds the title of largest flower garden in the world. Millions of bulbs are planted in the 32 hectares of gardens and 15 kilometers of walkways throughout this visit. The grounds are covered in a multitude of vividly colored spring bulbs, including tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and others. Explore the historical garden, the Japanese garden, and the English garden. Admire the floral sculptures, which are based on a yearly theme.

At the Keukenhof Gardens, you will receive your skip-the-line entrance tickets which are included in this excursion. Before entering, the tour guide or your driver/guide will provide an introduction to Keukenhof and the story behind it. You can then self-explore the gardens and pavilions at your leisure.
