“We really loved the Windmill cruise part of this tour. The crew were so happy and helpful, the boat was immaculate and we could've stayed on it for another hour easily taking in the gorgeous views and amazing Windmills. Although the Keukenhof Gardens were packed with people when we went, it was a fantastic sight to experience and I'm glad we went. I would however say its worth bringing a picnic with you if you're making a day of it as the food and drink is pretty expensive.”
