Steaming through the Bulbfields

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, continuing to our hotel in the Netherlands.

We include a fantastic excursion to Keukenhof Gardens. Stroll through the maze of paths and explore these large gardens that have been welcoming visitors since 1950.

Spread across 34 hectares you walk through a myriad of colours and over 800 different varieties of tulips amongst others. Experience the dazzling floral displays with a never-ending variety of spring bulbs and flowers.

For the cruise and steam tram, we start our day by driving across the Houtribdijk, built between 1963 and 1975.

We head to Enkhuizen, where we board the Museum Ship Friesland for our cruise on the Ijsselmeer before enjoying our steam tram from Medemblik to Hoorn. Keep an eye out for the bulbfields which may be in full bloom!

We finish our day visiting a cheese and clog factory where traditional Dutch crafts will be demonstrated.

Today we travel to the cosmopolitan capital city of Amsterdam on our optional excursion.

Amsterdam is a city with something for everyone, from romantic canal cruises, fantastic gastronomic experiences, art, diamonds, shopping, culture, history and much, much more.  Spend time admiring the attractive 17th century merchant houses and the floating flower market or simply relax in a canal-side café.  

Please note: Due to locally introduced traffic regulations there will be a walk of at least 30 minutes from the coach drop-off point to the centre of Amsterdam.
