Spectacular Colors - Keukenhof Gardens is definitely one of those "must-see" places in the world if you enjoy vivid colors and flowers. There's evidently a two-month window at this garden when the tulips are in season because they plant the bulbs at different depths. You need to plan ahead, as of 2024, the number of visitors per day is capped around 40,000.

WOW! What an experience. - 7 million bulbs, 1.5 million visitors during the 45 days it is open from April to mid-May. If you are in Amsterdam during this time this is a no miss experience to see. Viator did a great job getting us there and even stopped down the road at the privately run Tulip Experience which was educational and enjoyable.

Highly recommended trip - We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was the end of the tulip season, so the tulip fields and gardens weren't as spectacular as they would be in peak season but we still saw plenty tulips. The tulip experience was very informative and a free hot drink provided. The Keukenhof gardens are stunning, even with a lot of the tulips gone. Our guide, Diederik was fantastic and kept us informed throughout the trip. He gave a wonderful running commentary as we drove to each stop and was full of information and tips. He even gave us a short guided tour at the Keukenhof Gardens. We would definitely do this trip again, preferably though a few weeks earlier next year to hopefully get the best of the tulip show on the fields and at the garden

A beautiful stop during our week in Amsterdam - A beautiful stop on our week long trip to Amsterdam. We booked our tickets as soon as they became available and took one of the first buses of the day to the gardens. It was very busy and the line for the bus was long, so I am glad we arrived early. Once you arrive to the gardens, you can explore as you wish and take your time wandering. The food was delicious at the cafe as well as the coffee and apple pie. This was a beautiful stop to see the flowers and tulips during the spring season and glad we made the trip.

Absolutely enjoyable - It was a trip that should not be missed whether you are a flower lover or not. The Keukenhof was a truly amazing experience to have so many varieties of beautiful well taken care of gardens, absolutely stunning! The tulip experience was also enjoyable and informative about the history of tulips and the cultivation. I wish we were given a bit more time at the tulip experience even I was in the last week of the tulip season.

disappointing trip - We booked an early tour .We also booked the tour as a guided tour. Our guide walked us to the gate then left. i don't consider that a guided tour especially for the price we paid. also the flowers were half dead. you should have warned us and sold it at a discount price. Also we went to the growing area first, by the time we got to the garden it was packed. We were very disappointed
