Important to know
Know in advance:
- You can choose to between two ticket options. Either the regular tour or plus the Amsterdam Canal Cruise. For this, you'll receive an open departure voucher when you check in for the tour and the cruise departs from Damrak Pier 5-6 (Opposite Central Station)
- Tulips and other bulb flowers are natural products and even though the Keukenhof has advanced growing methods, the course of nature depends mainly on the weather. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed how many flowers and flower fields can be visited and seen during your tour
