On this tour, we will start at your hotel in Amsterdam for a private, guided tour to the Tulip Festival, Tulip fields, and Tulip Route in Noordoostpolder and visit the village of Giethoorn.
We will drive for 1 hour to the eastern part of Holland, to Noordoostpolder, which was reclaimed from the sea in 1942.
Tulip route, Tulip experience
At this polder, we will drive along the 'Tulip Route,' which means that the Tulip fields are planted along this route and is usually between 80 and 100 kilometers long.
This route changes yearly because Tulips can only be replanted after 5 - 6 years in the same field. We will stop several times to take pictures of you and your family or friends between the fields of flowers. We will also visit the 'Tulip Experience' and the Tulip info center.
The flowering of the Tulip fields depends on the weather conditions.
The first Tulips will start to flower around half of April. In Noordoostpolder, most of the bulb fields are Tulips. Daffodils and Hyacinths are usually not planted at this polder.
After the Tulip fields, we will continue to drive to Giethoorn.
When we arrive at Giethoorn, we will start a guided general canal cruise of 1 hour on the village's narrow canals and the lake behind the village.
If you would like, we can also arrange a private cruise or a private lunch cruise.
Prices upon request.
After the cruise, we will stop for lunch in the village along one of the canals. There are several restaurants from which we can choose.
Walk along canals
After lunch, we will walk through the village along the canals' pathways.
We can visit galleries, boutique shops, etc.
