Great locations with ample time in each.
Callum was an amazing guide and the small group size ensured we skipped the lines and received personalized demonstrations and explanations.

Tulips were beautiful in spite of rain. Windmills were interesting but too commercial.
Guide was good.

When considering this event, timing is everything. We went on May 9, and the tulip fields had been harvested. At the Kuekenhof, the vast majority of the flowers were dying. Very disappointing, and in our opinion, this event should not really be offered in May. April is the peak time to enjoy the tulips and other flowers, which is why I’m sure most everyone books this excursion. That said, the rest of the trip was enjoyable. We saw the wooden clogs made, cheese class, and the windmills. Logistically everything was on time with no problems. The tour company personnel were very nice and enjoyed their jobs. Would’ve given this five stars without hesitation, if we had been able to see fields of tulips like everyone expects.

Our tour was informative and interesting. We got a great overview of several topics - windmills, wooden shoes, cheeses, Dutch history and life. We especially liked touring an authentic working wind mill. Tour guide David was very knowledgeable and personable, and spoke English clearly.
The tulips were at the end of their season (May 6), so while they were beautiful, we definitely missed the peak of the season. Even so, the Gardens were gorgeous and very enjoyable to visit.
The whole tour was well-organized and on time. Would highly recommend.

This small group tour was so enjoyable. We visited an operating windmill and learned about the different uses of windmills. We saw how the wooden shoes were made and how they are made now. We learned about chocolate beans being made into chocolate and how the Netherlands is a major producer. We enjoyed our time at the huge tulip gardens. The tour bus driver was able to drop us off very close to our hotel since it was on his way.

Was a bit drawn out especially the time at the gardens with no real easy way to get around such a vast area

I didn’t know what to expect and I thought we were visiting the tulip fields, but there was a lot to see at Keukenhof, although a lot of the tulips were not at their best - presumably because it was late in the season but also because it rained so much in April.
The star of the day was the tour guide. Toas, at Zaansee. She was friendly, knowledgable and engaging. Overall we got a lot from our day

We went there Sunday may 5th. 90% of the tulips were gone. The gardens were lovely but not what we went there for. No immense fields of colors other than green.
The windmills were awesome. Climb to the top if you can. The wooden shoe and cheese exhibitions were great.
Our tour guide was pretty much non existent. She was there to keep us from getting lost or left behind. She provided little comment of value. However.... We didn't get lost or left behind.
The windmill village made the trip worthwhile.

The day was so complete, it's hard to single out one thing. Both the driver and guide were fantastic.

Tulips, quaint town and windmills. Although a little disappointed there were no rows and rows of tulips in the fields, once you arrived and entered the Keukenhof grounds it’s a site of BEAUTIFUL tulips and other flowers (acres and acres). The visit at the quaint town held quite a bit of history and it was great to see, behind the scene, a working windmill and climb up to the landing that over looks the fields. It was amazing seeing the full process of how wooden shoes are made. I would at this to your list of things to see!
