ケーケンホフ・ガーデンズ：入場、音声ガイド、およびアムステルダムへの移動

Viator overbooked the activity. It was planned for our final day in Amsterdam and when we arrived, the tour company had no record of our booking. We had to buy new tickets directly and are still working with Viator for a refund. Be cautious when booking last minute.

The gardens were nice enough -- the flowers were in full bloom, and I didn't know there were that many different types of tulips! The bathrooms were clean and plentiful. However, I'd suggest just getting the bus and entrance ticket instead (much cheaper). The "audio tour" was simply 5-6 little bits of trivia (the audio track was otherwise silent), and the sights they pointed out were nowhere around at the point they were discussed. I also paid extra for a live 30-minute tour but this was never given, so I wandered around the park on my own and made my own way off. The tour operator did not respond to my message (although the staff at the departure point were lovely), but thankfully Viator's customer support followed up and secured a refund of the extra charge.

We deliberated in using public transportation instead of buying this tour, but upon seeing the numbers of people that go to this garden and the long line ups at the airport for the bus to Keukenhof, I know we made the right decision to use this company to get to KG. It was good use of our time and the price was not that much more. I would use this company again for tours. We experienced no problems when we bought our online tickets (39E) months in advance for round trip transportation from Amsterdam to Keukenhof Gardens plus Garden admission from Lindbergh Tickets and Tours. At home, we printed out our tickets along with a map of the Amsterdam train station which showed exactly where the meeting point was for this tour so there was no confusion. At the train station, on the East side at the back, Lindbergh Tours has a ticket office and the meeting point is there as that is where the bus leaves from. They have many tours leaving to different places around the same time, but the company has organized the waiting space so that people know exactly where to queue for their tour. I recommend being 20-30 minutes early prior to the departure time stated on the ticket as the group leaves about 15 minutes before departure stated on the ticket to the awaiting bus a short walk away. The bus then leaves at the time stated on the ticket. The company uses a comfortable double decker Grayline type bus that parks very close to the Garden gates and waits until the departure time at 1:30. We got to the gardens around 10ish after leaving at 9:30, but the trip home seemed to be longer due to traffic around the KG. We were finished touring the garden on our own in 2 1/2 hours and had time to spare to have a quick lunch on site. This tour has no guided walking tour through the gardens which really is not needed as people wander around at their own speed. We did pass some tulip fields on our way to KG and there were some also surrounding the park. The personable driver spoke English and gave some interesting tidbits of information as he drove. We did this tour April 22, 2019. Tulips and muscari display were tops; daffodils had gone over, but later blooming narcissi were evident in one section only. Maps of the garden are freely given out at the entrance. 3 pavilions offer hot foods while 2 offer coffee and sweets. All have WC with no queuing needed. Large gift shop at the entrance where pre-packaged bags of tulips are available for purchase. Inside the garden, there was a kiosk where bulb orders could be placed. Loved this tour of the KG - convenient bus trip, lovely garden, sunny day - despite the crowds who also were there, like me, to enjoy the beautiful tulip display.

Went while the tulips and other flowers were in bloom and had one of the most amazingly beautiful days. While some may get bored with sightseeing of flowers, this was one of the most gorgeous sites I have ever seen. I recommend this in the spring while everything is in full bloom. The gift shops are nice and items not as expensive as a lot of gift shops in Europe. The afternoon as we were getting ready to leave was a bit hectic and many tour buses arrived and tourists were everywhere. I would love to go back. Bring a nice camera

this place is just stunning.we went mid april 2018 and they had told us not every field of tulips had come to fruition.but 95% i was happy with.it one of the must do things if your a tourist. very very busy but like every person there it was what made my trip to holland. lots of dogs on leads and plenty places to eat or just grab a cool drink. if you only live long enough to see one thing in holland then this is the place you should be heading for. tickets for anything are so easy to get for anywhere in amsterdam. i cannot put into words how much i loved this place,i hope heaven is like this and smells as good as here.there is something here for every age and good facilitys for disabled. not only outdoors but indoors too.i found it very warm indoors.if you appreciate floral beauty then go to this place.

<p>An unforgettable experience being at the Keukenhof gardens, and the private transfer makes it easy and fun to get there. Our driver even helped book our tickets to the Van Gogh museum and dropped us off there on the way back! Perfect and hospitable!</p>

<p>Our tour guide was fantastic. We made small stops along the way and she was very informative regarding the gardens and surrounding areas. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous and worth the money and time spent there.</p>

<p>The driver was accommodating. Experiencing the Gardens was the main reason we made this trip. We were not disappointed.</p>

<p>I honestly did not want to go here...flowers.....really? but we were all very surprised and the sheer size of the gardens and areas they have put together! Get there early!!! This fills up with people very fast!!!</p>

<p>Even my husband could not get enough of the gardens. He said it was the most amazing display of nature he had ever witnessed. My granddaughter took over 400 pictures. Wish we had planned another hour at least as we didn't make it through all the special displays. Our driver was excellent. An awesome morning!</p>
