Breathtaking Keukenhof: Direct Tulip Fields Tour from Amsterdam
This 5,5-hour tour departs from Central Station Amsterdam to Holland’s colorful Keukenhof Park. Travel by air-conditioned bus through an area with endless tulip fields, one of the country’s most photographed and iconic landscapes. You can choose between an audio-guided bus tour, which includes a multilingual audio guide and a free LOVERS Canal Cruise, or a non-audio-guided tour.

Dozens of gardeners work for months to get the park in shape. The bulbs are arranged according to a different theme every year. For the 2026 edition the exact period is: 19th of march until the 10th of may.

Bus was very crowded. Good experience and well worth the trip. The gardens are breathtaking with beautiful tulips

Wonderful experience! So much to see! The bus ride was very fun, and the driver provided interesting information.

Absolutely you should do this. I went the second to last day and it was still stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it and plan to come again. The bus was pleasant and clean and the recorded narrative made the ride pass quickly.

Easy to find directions to tour bus. Plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful park. Bus ride audio was not working properly must of ride.

Comfortable bus ride with large viewing windows. Gardens were gorgeous. Grounds were much larger than I expected which was a plus. Not to be missed!

Well organized and a nice destination but 3 hours was too much time for the gardens. Many of the flowers were already cut down by the last day so we had probably 1.5-2 hours of extra time to kill.

One of the best things tondo in Amsterdam in the spring. I went at late spring and there was so many flowers. I did miss the fields but I will be back.

Well organized trip! We watched a you tube video of the central train station which clearly showed us where to find the ticket office. There were several tour office representatives to help us and guide us to the correct waiting line for the bus. So efficient. The bus from the train station to the gardens was new, comfortable and clean. Frank, the bus driver, was professional and informative. The audio guide was enjoyable without being overdone. Our bus trip started at 9 and departed the gardens at 1:30 — more than enough time. The gardens themselves were spectacular. Highly recommend.

So beautiful. Lots of different areas of the park to see. Plenty of food, drink, and toilets. Went there in early May, and tulips were fully blooming although not sure they would have been a week or two later.

The trip was advertised as transfer from Amsterdam to the coach to the flower show and then a canal trip you asked whether you wanted to book audio or no audio I booked no audio then when I got to pick my tickets up I was told as I booked no audio that meant I did not want the canal trip This this is misleading. Audio means something you listen to not whether or not you want to Canal trip or not. This needs to be clarified as the guy at the ticket office said a lot of people this has happened to a lot of people. This is really disgusting and false advertising.

- The Keukenhof Gardens and Tulip Fields are open for a limited time each year; while the staff at Keukenhof Gardens works very hard to ensure the seven million tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and spring bulbs are in bloom during this eight-week period, the cycle of blooming flowers depends heavily on weather conditions. You are guaranteed to see a mixture of flowers in bloom from March to May, but April travel dates are recommended for the greatest chance to see the gardens at their very best, including the tulips. For the 2026 edition the exact period is: 19th of march until the 10th of may.
