About this activity

Combine two of the Netherlands' most iconic sights—the spectacular Keukenhof tulip gardens and the historic Zaanse Schans windmill village—in a single 8-hour small-group tour. With a maximum of 16 guests, you'll enjoy personalised guiding and skip-the-line entry to Keukenhof, plus hands-on visits to a traditional clog workshop and working cheese farm.

Travel in a small group, 16 guests maximum, to ensure personal attention from your guide and your driver. You will visit a wooden shoe workshop for a demonstration of clog making, a cheese farm for an explanation of cheese making and a working Industrial windmill.

At Keukenhof, skip the line and walk straight through the entrance as entrance tickets are given to you by the driver. Afterwards, you will be brought back to Amsterdam.

Our 9am tour starts with a visit to Keukenhof.

Insider tips

  • ★Start early (9am departure) to catch Keukenhof when crowds are lightest and light is best for photos

  • ★Bring a camera for the windmills—the best angles are from the village's small bridges and along the water's edge
