Day Trip to the Keukenhof Gardens
Description
The setting of the Keukenhof Gardens was used during the 15th century as the game reserve and herb garden for the kitchen of Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut. This is where the name of the garden comes from: it directly translates to "the kitchen garden."
Over the centuries, the garden has passed through numerous private hands until it was acquired by the foundation that transformed it into how we know it today: an annual event that attracts millions of visitors from all over the world.
Today, Keukenhof is 32 hectares (80 acres) in size, with 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) of winding paths and tons of floral expositions, gardens, and artwork. This has become an unmissable sight for anyone who visits Holland in the spring.
Visiting Keukenhof
This tour includes round-trip transport by bus from Amsterdam to the Keukenhof Gardens & back, as well as fast-track admission to the park. During the bus ride, there won't be a live English-speaking guide present, but the bus will be fitted with a new GPS guidance system allowing you to receive a detailed commentary throughout the trip. This impressive new system will provide with you interesting and helpful insights and information about the amazing sights you'll pass by.
On top of all of this, a free 1-hour Amsterdam canal cruise will now come as part of this tour, making this trip even more special. This canal cruise can be done at the start or the end of the day. The decision is up to you!
