While a little early in the season, the trip to the Keukenhof was amazing. The grounds are just beautiful and the colors unbelievable. We had quite a rainy, windy day so the windmill trip was a little challenging but still very worth it. The guide and bus were both top notch. Very good value for all you get!

While it was early in the season, our driver was able to find some fields that had tulips blooming in the fields too. He went out of his way to ensure our experience was amazing. Everyone was kind, helpful, and ensured that everything went perfectly.

The guide Ms. Evgeniya Seizova was exceptional. She was a great leader and educator. She was telling us all about our excursion, the places we visited, stories, history with great humor and care. I have taken other tours but guides are usually covering the basics and let us on our own to discover the rest. She was very profound and cheerful despite the bad weather and rain. She deserves a praise and big thank you from the travelers.
