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
★Wear comfortable walking shoes; Zaanse Schans involves uneven historic terrain and the windmill interiors have narrow stairs
★Bring a camera for the windmills—the best angles are from the village's small bridges and along the water's edge

our guide Samir was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight ... Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Blew our athens one out of the water, and perfect for first-timers, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
