Keukenhof Tulip Paradise Trip from Amsterdam

A blooming journey through the world's most celebrated flower garden


The Keukenhof tulip garden opens its gates for only a few weeks each year, making this half-day trip from Amsterdam one of the most sought-after seasonal experiences in the Netherlands.

Your driver collects you from a central Amsterdam meeting point and takes you through a landscape of open flower fields before arriving at the park. The drive itself is part of the experience, offering sweeping views of colour-saturated rows that stretch to the horizon.

Pre-purchased park tickets mean you bypass the entrance queues and spend your time where it matters most. A self-guided walk through the park lets you set your own pace among thousands of tulip, hyacinth, daffodil, orchid, rose, and lilac varieties.

The visit also includes a stop at a working flower farm, where guests are invited to pick their own bouquet. Before returning to Amsterdam, you have the opportunity to purchase bulbs from a wide international selection to grow at home.

Tour Highlights

Walk through Keukenhof's themed gardens featuring over 7 million bulbs in bloom across 32 hectares.

Photography opportunities in the open tulip fields along the route, considered among the most scenic in the country.

Visit a local flower farm and pick your own bouquet of fresh tulips straight from the field.

Pre-purchased park entry tickets included, so you skip the queues and go straight through the gate.

Browse and buy flower bulbs from producers around the world, from begonia to gladiolus, to take home and plant.

Round-trip private transfer from central Amsterdam, with comfortable and scenic travel each way.
