About this activity

We’ll visit The Zaanse Schans, a charming historic preservation village filled with traditional houses and iconic windmills. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the windmills, watch clogs being crafted, and enjoy a delightful cheese-tasting experience.

Afterward, we’ll head to Keukenhof, the world’s most stunning spring garden! The gardens are open from March 20th to May 11th, 2025, and feature around 7 million spring flowers, including tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses. Keep in mind that the flowers don’t all bloom at the same time, so the display may vary throughout the season.
