Make your way to the bike rental shop next to Keukenhof. Meet your guide there, and skip the lines for bike rental as your guide will already be ready for you. Then, together with a small group of up to 10 people, set off on your amazing bike tour around the flower fields in the area of Keukenhof.
Learn about this magnificent part of Holland and its flower culture and history from your guide. At a few of the stops, the guide will tell about growing tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils. There will be enough time to take pictures of the stunning flower fields. And because you cycle in a small group, the guide has personal attention for all guests.
While cycling, you will see millions of tulips and other spring flowers. You will cycle through a unique landscape in the Netherlands. This region is the cradle of tulip cultivation worldwide and the growers in this part of the country are the pioneers of bulb cultivation, often for generations. The local guide, who comes from an old family of growers, will also tell you everything about the culture and history of this region. This makes the storey of the tulip even more interesting and the colourful fields you cycle past even more impressive!
When you visit the Tulip Experience Amsterdam, you can admire 700 varieties of tulips up close and even walk in the field. This is the place to take that unforgettable colourful photo; your favourite tulip is sure to be there! In this garden full of tulips, there is also a small windmill, wooden clogs, a swing and a tandem bicycle. All the elements you need to take a great photo are here. Or would you rather just look at all those overwhelming colours while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea? That's possible too, as there is a nice Dutch restaurant with a terrace where you can sit and relax. A lovely place to taste great applepie from the local bakery.
Learn also everything about growing tulips in the past and now, and learn about the history of the tulip in the Netherlands. In the museum there is an exhibition with all the old and new machines which are in use to grow tulips. And as an extra bonus, you can take 5 tulips from the indoor picking area with you! A nice souvenir of your cycling tour in the Bollenstreek.
After approximately 3 hours, arrive back at the Keukenhof, where you can visit the beautiful gardens on your own (at your own cost). If you decide to visit Keukenhof, head there before or after the bike tour, depending on the departure time of your bike tour.
