"It was very easy to find the bus both to and from. Just feeling very rare with the guide, who talked very slow and not much information."
"Absolutely amazing, it was more than we had expected it to be. The transport there was a smooth journey. Wouldn’t change a thing, can’t wait to go back!"
"Guide was great! She was knowledgeable about the area and its history pointing out interesting things, and kept us informed about bike & traffic safety along the ride. The riding pace was fine with frequent breaks to learn more about the surroundings. I would recommend this tour and would do it again. It was definitely fun!"
"Easiest way to see the gardens. No guide but it was so nice to have transportation between the gardens and Amsterdam pretty much on my own schedule."
"We were a couple from India and had a smooth experience with the Keukenhof Ticket and Roundtrip Shuttle Transfer. Arriving early, we were kindly accommodated on an earlier bus, which was a great start. Free toilet facilities at the departure point were a plus, and the staff handled the crowd very well. The double-decker hop-on-hop-off style bus was comfortable and offered great views during the ride. The return bus frequency every 30-minutes gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace. However, since it was the last day of the Keukenhof season, most of the flowers had already been chopped off, and there were far fewer exhibitions compared to the peak season. While the transport and service were excellent, the ticket price should have been reduced to reflect the limited experience inside the garden. Still, overall, it was a well-managed trip."
"I fell in love with this place just amazing so beautiful will deffo be one of the reasons to return to amsterdam we made this our trip the day of my daughters 18th birthday and what a place for it 😍"
"Ifkthot my phone on board. I was able to get it back next day thanks to the bus driver’s"

"O lugar é maravilhoso sem dúvidas! Mesmo tendo ido no final da temporada, valeu muito a pena. O translado foi muito prático e pontual. Valeu a pena"
"Mi visita a Keukenhof fue realmente inolvidable. Lo que más me sorprendió fue la belleza y variedad de los tulipanes, cada rincón parecía una postal. El parque está muy bien organizado, los caminos son amplios y es fácil recorrerlo sin prisas, disfrutando de los colores y el ambiente tan tranquilo. También me encantó la cantidad de jardines temáticos, los invernaderos llenos de flores y las zonas perfectas para tomar fotos. En general, fue una experiencia maravillosa, relajante y muy recomendable para cualquier persona que ame la naturaleza y quiera vivir algo único. Sin duda, volvería a ir"
