Keukenhof Gardens Tour from Amsterdam

Walking Tour

4 hrs

Amsterdam

From the end of March to the beginning of May each year, the Dutch countryside comes alive with every color imaginable. Strips of tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils span as far as the eye can see, creating a technicolor landscape worthy of a visit.

On this Keukenhof Tour from Amsterdam, you will have the privilege of visiting the most renowned of Dutch tulip gardens. Witness the flower in many different roles: from planning during bulb cultivation in the tulip fields to front-and-center in the stunning displays at the gardens.

As you wander through the garden paths, you will discuss the architectural choices and themes of this year’s landscaping and the contemporary cultural implications of this curated space, and learn about the economic and colonial history that made the Netherlands the capital of flower bulb production.

You will leave your day with all of your senses heightened and your eyes twinkling from having witnessed the full splendor and lush colors of these unmissable gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to go to see the tulips? Will they be in bloom during my visit?

The tulip season is roughly from the end of March to early May. It depends on the weather each year; if spring is unseasonably warm, the blooming period can start earlier. If spring is delayed, so are the tulips. Around mid-March, we usually have a sense of how close the season is to beginning. We can recommend Weekly Flower Update as an online resource. The best time to visit is generally April. Another good indication of tulips in bloom in Holland is the opening period of the Keukenhof, which signals the arrival of the season.

Alette’s knowledge of history; especially as it relates to horticulture (and TULIPS) made our visit to Keukenhof Garden much more interesting. We had a great time and the grounds there were spectacular!
