Tulips
Absolutely gorgeous. The bus ride was great both picking up and dropping off. Was an absolutely beautiful tulip garden.
So many beautiful tulips 🌷
We were so pleased we did this trip as originally we were planning on just seeing the tulip fields. The gardens are so well maintained and the variety of colours is phenomenal. There are different indoor flower displays, one with orchids. On the way there and back the coach driver takes you past lots of tulip fields and even drives slowly so you can get pictures.
Absolutely Stunning! 🌷🌷🌷
One of the most beautiful flower gardens in the world. The tour guide was insightful and fun! Highly Recommend to anyone! 🌷
Tulip experience
This experience is only available from March to mid-May. The bus ride is 45 min long. The tulip experience is a visit to a generational family run tulip farm with a barn like museum and tulip fields. Then there is a 15 min ride to the Keukenhof gardens for several hours. It was lovely to see and we really enjoyed it. The peak is more in March-April so we did miss the spectacular fields of different colors but still enjoyed it!
A garden worth visiting
One of the most beautiful gardens I have visited- so colourful and such a variety of tulips - well laid out and easy to walk around
What a wonderful day !
Absolutely beautiful .Amazing number of varieties of tulips . Bus trip -good service and ample time to peruse the flowers and grounds.
Guided tour to Keukenhof
Bought a tour guided with them to Keukenhof and found the experience really pleasant. We had to line up to exchange the ticket but it was pretty fast. We left sharply on time, be sure you are there sometime before as they can leave a few minutes before the booked time and pay attention on the guides taking you to the bus they can easily "disappear". Carolina, our guide, was the best one and incredible knowledgeable about explaining everything about the garden's history, she spoke English, Spanish and French fluently and we are still intrigued where she is from, anyways, the tour was well organised and worth it, the bus left the gardens exactly the agreed time and Carolina , again, even made funny jokes and told a little bit more history.
Absolute must experience!
After years of wanting to visit this magnificent place, it far exceeded my expectations! I will cherish the experience forever. The colors jump out at you. It's like seeing the beauty for the first time!
Definitely worth the time and money.
The bus was comfortable and clean. The tour guide was informative. Although, at times she was a bit hard to understand. Keukenhof was worth the stop. It’s simply beautiful. The pictures do not capture the grandeur of the grounds. The visit to the Windmills was more fascinating and fun than we imagined. The history, significance and quaintness of the site do not disappoint.
Hermosos jardines, variedad de flores que no conocÃamos
Los jardines son hermosos, nos hubiera gustado un poco más de puntualidad del bus de regreso porque tuvimos que esperar en el estacionamiento en un clima muy ventoso y frÃo, sin lugar techado, sin asientos y con niños en cochecito. Al parecer la demora en los buses de regreso se debió a que el dÃa siguiente era el DÃa del Rey y es una festividad muy importante para los locales.
Keukenhof 2023
Bonne organisation Conductrice très douce et consignes claires. Attention cependant à l heure de retour !
Inolvidable e imprescindible si viajas a Amsterdam
Impresionante. No dudes en coger este tour, no esperarás colas y el guÃa Ryan hizo el viaje super ameno! El jardÃn consta con 3.000 tipos de tulipanes distintos de todos los colores y preciosos. Recomiendo mucho ir a principios de mayo!
Visite incontournable
C'est la visite a faire si on est à Amsterdam en entre mi mars et mi mai. Le départ s'effectue depuis la gare centrale, dans le hall du fond qui permet d'accéder au départ des bateaux. Il y a une bureau de vente où les groupes de réunissent pour les nombreux départs. Trajet 45/50 mn de la gare centrale au parc. Temps libre sur place de 3h30, ce qui est très bien. Beaucoup de monde sur lace mais le parc est immense. Bien suivre les instructions pour le bus du retour sinon... Raté !
Excursion à ne pas manquer !
Un peu de difficulté à trouver l'emplacement des guichets Tours & Tickets dans la gare d'Amsterdam, donc prenez large pour vous y rendre. Il faudrait y être en tout cas 20 minutes avant le départ de votre excusion. De plus, ils sont précis dans le timing et ne vont pas vous attendre.... Chauffeur sympathique sans excès de blabla, qui nous a amené très proche de l'entrée de Keukenhof, appréciable. Jardins de toute splendeur, un régal pour les yeux et le nez, avec le parfum enivrant des jacinthes. Une très belle journée !
Tulipanes
Sitio maravilloso lleno de tulipanes de todos los colores. Impresionan los campos de tulipanes de colores. Recomiendo.
