Amsterdam Trip Overview
After a short ride from Amsterdam to the bulb flower area around Lisse, we start the tour by making a scenic ride in this area. Depending upon the season, you will see a landscape with colourful bulb flower carpets in almost any colour you can imagine.
Then we continue to the true highlight of this tour, the Keukenhof Gardens. Once a mere kitchen garden filled with vegetables and herbs, the Keukenhof – smack dab in the middle of South Holland’s tulip region – now has the distinction of being the world’s largest flower garden, hosting some 800,000 visitors per year. This guided tour will take you through the 15 kilometres of footpaths and 32 hectares of gardens, where millions of bulbs are planted each year. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other spring bulbs of a variety of vibrant colours carpet the grounds. Stroll through the English landscape garden, the Japanese country garden, and the historical garden. Take in the flower sculpture, based on an annual theme.
