Amsterdam day trip to Keukenhof, a third-gen tulip farm, and a windmill canal cruise. Includes entry fees and transport.
“The first independent tulip farm was the best the windmill cruise was SO BORING and the commentary was non existent and when they did speak it lacked lustre, it’s just a way to sell tea, coffee and Dutch apple cake. The main event tulip displays was over crowded and like a Disneyland of tulips Overall just go to the 1st one independently google tulip farmers and the one that has a cafe. Over priced trip.”
Amsterdam to Bruges in a day: guided medieval highlights, 3 hours to roam, and smart practical help from local guides and a comfy coach ride.
“Bruges is fantastic. This trip is s long time in a bus, about 3.5 each direction from Amsterdam, but we still had five hours in Bruges. The tour provider is a Spanish company, but if you buy the English tour, your guide will speak in both languages. When we got to Bruges, the groups separated for a two hour tour with separate guides. Bruges is not to be missed! Buildings from the 13th century, wonderful food and chocolate, and so much to see and learn. If you love history, a guide is well worth it. The tour company is not the most organized, but everything went fine and our driver…”
