Leaving your Amsterdam hotel aboard a comfortable mini bus with your guide, you will drive to the city of Haarlem where you will visit the Old city center and the famous Frans Hals museum with its Tulipomania exhibition. Then, you will head to the flowering bulb fields, in the South of Haarlem, passing by several towns like Hillegom, Lisse, and Sassenheim. Then you will enjoy lunch at a golf course restaurant. After lunch, you will drive 5 minutes to the Villa Blossom where you will learn how to make your own bouquet with fresh flowers. Then, you will drive 10 minutes to the beautiful Keukenhof park considered as the most beautiful spring flower park in the world. Afterwards, your expert guide will show you all the hotspots and take you into beautiful pavilions full of all kinds of flower shows. Existing since more than 60 years, the park covers 32 hectares (80 acres) full of flowering bulb varieties, and includes beautiful trees, shrubs, garden architecture, windmills, and a small animal-farm for children. At the end of the day, your chauffeur-guide will bring you back to your hotel.

Born in Rotterdam, I lived in Amsterdam with my family between 2 and 12 years old, moving then to Aalsmeer, the flower-capital of Holland where the Floriculture is very developed. As an important part of my family was involved in the flower-industry, it was not a coincidence that I went to horticultural school and horticultural college. After college I left Holland to live in England for 6 months to work in floriculture. I also worked and lived in France for 2 months. When I came back to Holland, I started working at a breeding-company in Gerbera-cut flowers and, as a hobby, I started breeding cut flower-roses. After a few years, I started my own company specializing in Gerbera-cut flowers and developed many well-known new varieties. Many years later, I decided to change my career a little, driving tourists to floricultural destinations amongst other destinations, before I started my own business guiding visitors through Holland's booming floriculture in flower auctions and flower parks such as Keukenhof. I also organise tours to some small old towns like Marken, Volendam, and Edam, and to some cheese markets. I always try to give my guests a good and enjoyable time as most of them are in Holland just for a few days and want to have a memorable experience.
