Keukenhof-Gärten und Delft-Führung ab Amsterdam

It was a dream come true to see the Kuekenhof Gardens with a bonus trip to the town of Delft. We enjoyed a small private tour with Cherry as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and it was like traveling around with friends visiting and talking about anything on our minds. While we knew that we were seeing the gardens a bit early in the season, the various flowers were gorgeous and like a sea of color. It was too early to see the fields full of tulips, but we did see fields of beautiful yellow Daffodils. The offset to going early in the season was that the crowds were light and perfect, in my opinion. Then, we hit the road again to see more countryside and the town of Delft. Cherry guided us on a stroll thru the beautiful town center where we visited a small shop. We watched the Delft pieces being painted and listened to and watched how the pieces were made and fired. As we strolled thru the quaint walkways, Cherry provided interesting facts about the town and history. The good thing about a small private tour is that we could customize our stops to a certain extent. So we opted to visit a quaint pub instead of another cathedral for some much needed adult beverages and Dutch Apple Pie. We so enjoyed the entertaining travel conversation with Cherry and the other guest who had traveled the world mostly as a single traveler. I highly recommend Cherry's Travel Tours, and we will book with her again when we are back in the Netherlands again!

This day trip was so easy, pleasant and a great combination to see Keukenhof Garden and the town of Delft. We were picked up and driven in a small group of 6 in a luxury minivan and arrived early enough in the morning to Keukenhof to be a little ahead of the crowds that came later and had plenty of time to see all of the amazing flowers and pavilions plus a quick lunch before departing to Delft. Delft was a treat because it was the home of the artist Johannes Vermeer and we had just seen the Vermeer exhibit at the Rijksmuseum. We had time on our own and visited the Vermeer Center and ate some local specialities found in the shops and restaurants there. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and Morgan and Cherry were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend any tour with them!

Our guide/driver Eldos was very pleasant, informative, and a safe skilled driver. Once we arrived at Keukenhof, our group was escorted to a demonstration on tulip growth and varietal development. Anyone interested in ordering bulbs was escorted to the location for that process. Otherwise, tour group members had free time sufficient to roam the gardens, get a snack/meal, and take hundreds of photos of this amazingly beautiful place. The Tulip Fields stop was short but supplemented the learning experience and provided the opportunity for a few more good photos. There were mixed reactions to Delft as the last tour destination, possibly because our group was elderly and energy levels were running low. Overall, I was happy with the tour and would book again with Cherry Travel & Tours.
