Tulip Express

Our first stop on the Tulip Express will take us to the Clara Maria Farm, where the age-old tradition of cheese production and wooden shoe making will be brought to life by the van Wees Family. After a traditional Dutch breakfast provided by the farm host and hostess (included), experience the Dutch tradition of making cheese, with a demonstration that shows, start to finish, how the cheese is made, followed by tasty samples! After shopping opportunities for traditional Dutch wares, we continue on to the Keukenhof Spring Gardens (entrance fee included).

At the Keukenhof Flower Garden, every year people from all over the world connect with their love for Flowers, enjoying the parks millions of perennial bulbs and lilies throughout many outdoor landscapes and indoor pavilions, all showcasing different and inspirational displays based on a new theme each year.  This year’s theme will be “Flower Classics”, taking inspiration from the Mauritshuis museum (The Hague), you will discover how flowers were used in masterful artworks for centuries. Some of this year’s highlights will feature a replica of Johannes Vermeer’s most famous painting “Girl with Pearl Earring”, admirable in this year’s Mauritshuis inspirational garden and a bouquet of flowers that seem almost impossible to assemble for it consists of flowers that all bloom at different times of the year.  Explore the canals, functioning windmill, and indoor pavilions highlighting various grower competitions. Admire the beautiful landscapes from water level in a whisper boat ride (not included) on the shallow water canals that weave through the park.  There will be ample free time in the park for opportunities to enjoy lunch (not included), your own snacks brought from home, and souvenir shopping at some of the many locations within the park.
