Discover the Beauty of Holland: Keukenhof and Giethoorn

Holland knows how to charm you. From endless tulip fields to villages where roads are replaced by canals, this tour brings you face-to-face with two of the country’s most stunning sights—Keukenhof Gardens and Giethoorn Village.

This private tour is your invitation to walk through fields bursting with flowers and float through a village pulled from a storybook. It’s the Holland you’ve always imagined—alive, colorful, and peaceful.


Keukenhof Gardens: A Floral Paradise

You step into Keukenhof, and it’s like the world shifts. Color floods every corner. Tulips stretch across the land in perfect lines, each row brighter than the last. But it’s not just tulips. Daffodils, hyacinths, and orchids bloom in every shape and color. Every path you follow leads to another surprise—a fountain framed by blossoms, a sculpture nestled in petals, a quiet bench with a view that feels unreal.

Keukenhof opens its gates just once a year, from mid-March to mid-May. The best time to visit? Mid-April, when the tulip fields are at their peak.

Tulips aren’t just flowers here—they’re part of Dutch identity. They carry history. They were once so valuable they sparked a market craze. Today, they’re a symbol of the country’s deep connection to nature and art.

Want to capture the moment? Visit early in the morning or just before closing. The soft light makes colors glow. Stand at the edge of the fields for wide shots, or zoom in for detail. Either way, your photos will speak louder than words.


Giethoorn Village: Exploring the Dutch Venice

From flowers to canals, you’ll head next to Giethoorn—a village where the only sounds are birds, water, and your boat cutting gently through the canal.

They call it the “Venice of the North,” and once you’re here, you’ll see why. No cars. No rush. Just narrow waterways, wooden bridges, and homes with thatched roofs that look like they belong in a painting.

You glide under bridges, past green gardens and old farmhouses. Locals wave from their porches. You stop for coffee in a café that floats by the water. Walking paths curve through the village, letting you explore at your pace. Every turn offers a new view.

Giethoorn isn’t just pretty—it’s preserved. The village holds stories of Dutch water life, old trades, and quiet ways of living that still thrive today.


The Holland Experience: Unforgettable Memories

This full-day private tour blends the two best faces of Holland. You begin your day with a stroll through the world’s most famous tulip gardens, and end it drifting through a peaceful water village.

Your driver and guide pick you up from your hotel. You travel in comfort through the Dutch countryside, seeing the windmills and green fields that make Holland so unique.

Here’s how the day flows:

  • Morning: Visit Keukenhof Gardens, with time to wander, take photos, and enjoy the flowers.

  • Lunch: Stop for a meal in a local spot en route to Giethoorn.

  • Afternoon: Explore Giethoorn by boat and on foot, soaking in its calm charm.

Booking is easy through our website, and private tours can be customized for your pace. Discounts are available for groups and early reservations.
