    Awesome. It was a great experience. We could book online and with kids. Staff was super friendly. Once we booked then we realized that there are two different company starting from 2 different locations in Amsterdam. We explored these 2 Locations a day before and this helped us.

    The experience was great, but Headout sent me to the wrong location, so I missed my reservation. I had to rebook for the next day at a different time slot. But Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans are amazing!

    First of all, I would like to say that I am not a fan of this type of tour. Nevertheless, I opted for this tour as it was offered in German. Unfortunately, the tour was bilingual, which is ok, mainly in English and only very sporadically translated into German. Looking back, I could have driven my own car.

    I feel that the amount of time at each place was perfect.
  • Peace and serenity at Keukenhof

    Your day spent amidst beauty begins with a single-decker coach picking you up from Amsterdam and taking you through the vivid flower fields of the Dutch countryside. Once you reach Keukenhof, spend as much time as you want strolling among the blooming bulbs of 800 varieties of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and spring bulbs. Watch one of the many flower shows at the many pavilions, like the anthurium and orchids show, or marvel at the art installations in the garden like Dolfijn You can also cruise through the blooms on a boat, cycle amongst the flowers, and explore the mill dating back to 1892

    Historic windmills and picturesque villages

    Your next stop is Zaanse Schans, where you will encounter the traditional charm of an 18th-century village with historic windmills and colorful wooden houses. Apart from the quaint windmills, visit the Clog Museum, a wooden shoemaker’s shop, and try some delicious Dutch cheese from a cheese farm. Upgrade to explore the serene Dutch countryside, including the fishing villages of Volendam, or go on an Amsterdam Canal Cruise and see sights like the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum from the waters.
