Seasonal availability
18 March to 9 May 2027
This is a seasonal tour. It runs during the Keukenhof season, which Keukenhof has announced as 18 March to 9 May 2027 (open daily from 08:00 to 19:00, with last entry at 18:15). These are the official dates published by Keukenhof; the booking calendar only offers dates inside this season.
Tulips follow the weather. When the fields and gardens are at their best depends on nature, so the exact condition of the blooms, and which fields are in flower on your day, cannot be guaranteed.

About the tulip fields
The area around Keukenhof is the heart of the Dutch bulb-growing region. Mike drives you through it and stops where the view is good and photography is legal and safe. The fields are working farmland, so for the growers' sake and your own safety we never walk into them and do not promise access to private fields.
Tulips follow the weather, so the exact condition of the blooms on your day cannot be guaranteed. Read about private tulip field tours in the Netherlands.
Why choose a private Keukenhof day tour?
Some travellers like the simplicity of a larger group tour. If you would rather have the day to yourselves, this is how a private tour differs.
Is this Keukenhof private tour right for you?
Couples, families and small groups of up to four who want to experience the Dutch spring in comfort, with a personal guide and their own car, instead of a day on a crowded coach. Prefer a different day? Compare all private tours.

MORE ABOUT MIKEGuest reviews
What guests say about touring with Mike
Our guide, Mike is awesome. The tour visited some very interesting places and Mike is very accommodating and helpful. He gave us some background and good information as we traveled, was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions, and made sure we were well taken care of. Mike is a pleasure to spend the day with. We highly recommend Mike and this tour.
This was one of the best day activities we could have had. With our limited time in Amsterdam, it was such an easy, relaxing way to see parts of Netherlands outside of the city. Mike was super accommodating to our needs, including my elderly mother and my hyper 6 year old. Communication was GREAT, and he kept us informed about where we were going/doing while remaining totally flexible. What a lovely memory! Thank you Mike!
Mike was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We could never have visited all the places that he took us to on our own. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a private, authentic experience in the Netherlands.
One of the best day trips we did in Europe, Mike was both professional and friendly. We felt like in a tour with a friend taking care of us. The tour was timely and spot on the most important things to see and enjoy. We tasted nice food and enjoyed the walk around while in a very nice weather. At the end Mike did a nice video for the memory with the photos he took for us during the trip. Highly recommend it while planning a visit to Amsterdam
