Amazing gardens - Our tour guide was excellent. Great robots of knowledge and command of the English language was exceptional. Appreciated to cheese and clog being at a different site than the wind mills.
Like most tours wish I had more time at the garden. Time at the other locations was appropriate.
Rained on and off the entire day so that was a bit of a downer. Look forward to returning

As Expected - The tour was well organized. We left at 9 am. There were at least 5 busses leaving at the same time, so it seems the tour won’t sell out, they’ll just keep adding busses. Our guide, Marianne, was super informative. I was impressed that she talked the entire time we were on the bus, telling us history and details about what we were seeing. We went to Keukenhof first, where she led a 30 min optional tour and then we had 2.5 hours of free time. Then back on the bus, where we stopped at a cheese farm with cheese tasting. It was short and to the point. Then we drove to Zaanse Schans. There were tons of other people and bus groups there. The wooden shoe demonstration is part of the Zaanse Schans area and free for anyone there, so it’s not arranged specifically for this tour. We had 2 hours free there before returning right at 6 pm. It was efficient and well thought out. I enjoyed it.

Great places but an ok Guide tour. - The garden was great. We went at a good time where most tulips were blooming. The visit to zaanse Schans was also nice.
The only bad thing about this trip was that even though the trip said English only, we were combined with a group of German people. The guide was then switching between English and German constantly. It was very difficult to follow here as she you would be listening intently, and then without warning she would switch to German.
The places were good, but go with a better guide.

Good tour, despite the weather - We had a good trip dispite the weather, it was raining the whole day, but the guide was filled with positive energy.The tour overall was good but I wished we had more time exploring the gardens and there was a lot of people at the windmills so you could not see everything and just walking to the windmills was about 40 minutes

Spring break at Keukenhof Gardens. - The guide and gardens were wonderful. It is spring break and was very crowded. Also, the weather was cold and rainy. Otherwise, I would give it a five.
