With the Keukenhof closed but with vast field being in full bloom, the Western part of Holland is the place to be this weekend. Expat Club travels to the surroundings of the city of Lisse to witness the spectacular blooming season of hundreds of millions of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. For this trip a packed lunch is included, as well as a visit to a Dutch beach resort town and a bicycle rental with a special tour through the flower fields. This is a day we have all been waiting for, outside the city, fresh air and endless colour.

Tulip Cycling Experience

Holland is with a great distance the best cycling country in the world, i.e. it’s flat and there are many safe bicycle paths. This makes cycling in Holland an absolute pleasure. But it’s extra attractive in this area at this time of year, because the paths here lead along some of the best panoramic views. Normally we offer cycling tours during our Keukenhof trips, but this time it’s our main experience. We know this rental company. They are great, enthusiastic and always in a very happy mood ????

This is what you can expect…

1. You can walk through the special tulip gardens of the Tulip Experience Museum
2. You will get a high-quality bicycle
3. The bicycle will be adapted to your height
4. You will receive a map and clear explanations
5. Cycling is possible in smaller groups since distance can be maintained without a problem
6. There are clear indications along the way
7. You can get explanations about the tulips through QR codes along the way
8. You will get a snack bag for some extra energy on your route
9. Stops are possible at various places, including toilet stops or to buy something at a snack store. You can even go to the beach again ????

If you don’t like cycling, you can always decide to go for a shorter walk along the fields. Amazing pictures guaranteed!

Tulip Experience Amsterdam

The Dutch Tulip Experience is situated very close to the Keukenhof. It is situated in the middle of the flower fields at an active grower / producer. Experience what it takes to grow and produce the iconic Dutch tulip! At Tulip Experience Amsterdam we take you on a journey through the wonderful world of the tulip and through the entire process of the bulb growers’ trade; from planting to worldwide shipping. Due to the COVID-measures the museum part is closed, but you can still enjoy the outdoor show garden where 1 million tulips (with over 500 different varieties from our own tulip farm!) are waiting to be photographed. Take as many amazing pictures as you can in this beautiful color palette, and all tulips are from our own tulip growing farm! After your are finished you can pickup your bicycle!

Lunch

Unfortunately restaurants are still closed in Holland, so we cannot offer you the famous Van der Valk Hotel lunch. But our favorite hotel chain is also known for their nice take-away lunch packages with some nice sandwiches, drinks and snacks. These are the same offered to business groups visiting the hotel for meetings, and we totally trust these are nice and good. Just note that we only offer vegetarian sandwiches to keep it simple. This package is included already in the trip fee. You can eat it in the bus or during our visit to the coastal town. It’s not optimal of course, but it is the best we can offer and believe we should take this offer to realize a lovely trip to Holland. We are allowed to use the toilet in the hotel as well, so it’s a perfect opportunity to make a little pit-stop.
