Amsterdam · AMSTERDAM TULIP FIELD TOURS
The bulb fields flower for a few weeks between the end of March and mid May, and the good ones are south towards Lisse. These 6 compare the garden tickets, the field drives and the bike rides between them, with prices and season dates.
Travel from Amsterdam to Daan and Anja’s tulip farm, walk among the spring fields, enjoy a one-hour windmill cruise, then explore Keukenhof at your own pace. The return is flexible, with the last bus leaving Keukenhof at 6:30 pm.
“It was a wonderful experience with Tulips and Gilbert our Guide and wonderful white color beloved Bus😊”
Travel by coach from central Amsterdam to a family-run tulip farm and Keukenhof Gardens. Walk through flower fields, explore 32 hectares of gardens, and add an open-date canal cruise voucher. This is mainly a self-guided day with some bus commentary.
“The tour basically provided transportation, and the tour guide provided information on the bus. Once we arrived at the two destinations we were on our own. Maps were provided by the garden and you needed to rely on the maps. We enjoyed both the fields and garden very much but some on the garden didn't realize there would be no guide at the gardens. FYI”
Travel from Amsterdam Central to the Lisse bulb fields, visit family-run Tulip Experience Amsterdam, then spend more than three hours at Keukenhof. Your guide handles the route and tickets, while you enjoy flower displays, field photos, coffee or tea, and free time to explore.
“The experience was amazing. I would definitely do this again. I also like the fact that you had the freedom to explore the gardens on your own without the guide.”
Spend about nine hours visiting De Tulperij tulip farm, cruising past Dutch windmills and villages, and exploring Keukenhof’s seven million bulbs. Farmer Daan explains how flowers are grown, while flexible return buses let you choose how long to stay at the gardens. English tour, transport and entry included.
“Well worth a trip out. Farmer told us a few things that we weren’t aware of, but a shame that we couldn’t purchase some bulbs from him at the time. Cruise, was relaxing and informative of the surrounding fields and windmills. Kenkenhof was truly stunning. It was very busy, but the area is vast, so no issues. The colours were breathtaking. Need to time it right or you will miss a fantastic display.”
Spend about eight hours with a small group visiting Zaanse Schans, a working windmill, a clog workshop, a Gouda farm, and Keukenhof. Guides such as Kenny, David, Bart, and Caleb provide local context, while three hours of free time let you explore the gardens independently.
“The tour company was on time and communicated well! The guide and driver were knowledgeable, friendly & courteous. Despite the weather, we had a fantastic experience with the guides, the locations and, of course, the tulips! Highly recommend! #bucketlist”
Meet a private photographer from 21’s Light Spot in central Amsterdam for a 15 to 50-minute shoot. Choose canal or tulip-field settings, get posing and outfit advice, and receive 9 to 30 edited digital images within 3 to 4 working days.
“My photographer, Zoey (September 2023,) was super flexible and willing to try a lot of different poses and worked with me to take photos that I, an amateur photographer myself, wanted to take of myself that I couldn’t do well with just a tripod. Even though I was very critical of myself, she was patient and spent the full time with me. I appreciated her and felt that this experience was an excellent value.”
Pick a canal, a museum or a village.
