Lunch is included.Leave central Amsterdam by air-conditioned coach and travel west to your first stop: the North Holland capital of Haarlem. A handsome example of a historic Dutch city, Haarlem is known for its cobblestone streets, Gothic architecture and history. Explore it on a walking tour, and see churches, cozy-looking cafes and the odd canal as you go. Visit the Frans Hals Museum while in Haarlem which opens it doors especially early for the tour group. This will include the Tulip Mania exhibit at the museum.
From Haarlem, continue to a working flower bulb farm for a tour with one of the farmers. Learn about the production of flower bulbs in the Netherlands, and ask questions while you explore. You will enjoy a complimentary lunch at the bulb farm.
Then, it’s time for your visit to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens. Since Keukenhof is one of the most popular attractions in the Netherlands and is only open for eight weeks in the springtime, it’s always a busy spot. But this tour grants you skip-the-line access, so you’ll bypass the entrance queue and head straight inside.
Follow your guide on a leisurely walk through the gardens as you learn about the history of the site. The world's largest flower garden, Keukenhof Gardens covers some 79 acres (32 hectares) and is home to more than seven million blooming tulips, daffodils and hyacinths.
Enjoy some free time in the gardens, and soak up the blaze of color around the park with its vibrant flowers, ponds and winding paths.
Later, meet your guide back on the coach and return to Amsterdam where your day trip ends.
