This was one of my favorite excursions we went on We had beautiful weather and pictures do not do the gardens justice You need to have plenty of time to see all of it
We’re really happy to hear that this was one of your favorite excursions and that you enjoyed the beautiful weather and the gardens. It’s true that photos often don’t fully capture how impressive these places are in person, so we’re glad you were able to experience them firsthand. We also appreciate your comment about time. These gardens and sites do deserve enough time to be explored at a relaxed pace, and your feedback about wanting more time there is very valuable for us when reviewing itineraries. Thank you again for your kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback.
Fantastic trip definitely worth visiting
We’re very happy to hear that you had a fantastic trip and felt it was definitely worth the visit. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
Besides the long commute, which nothing can be done about, the trip was AMAZING! I told our guide it was the Disneyland of Tulips!” Speaking of our guide, Ana Maria and our driver, both were very polite, personable, and friendly. There are several food carts that serve specialty snacks. My wife and I had the strawberries and cream! Also quite good! We would return in a heartbeat!
We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience and even described it as the “Disneyland of Tulips” — what a great way to put it! It’s also fantastic to know that Ana María and your driver contributed positively with their politeness, friendliness, and professionalism. We will be very happy to pass your kind words on to them. We’re glad you also enjoyed the local food options, especially the strawberries and cream — a lovely seasonal treat! Thank you again for sharing your experience. We would be very happy to welcome you back anytime.
Keukenhof is a magnificent place to visit! However we booked it as an English speaking tour. It was far from that. The guide spoke Spanish, with a minute or so of English. I between . She also spoke so rapidly it was difficult to listen. . When we got there we were not on a tour nor did you need or want one. A very expensive bus ride.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Our Keukenhof tours are usually operated in a bilingual format (English and Spanish), as we often have mixed groups. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear that you felt there was not enough explanation in English and that this affected your experience. We sincerely appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will definitely take your comments into account to improve the balance of languages in future tours. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.
Wonderful day trip! The tulips and other flowers were beautiful. The gardens are well kept. So glad we took this trip out of Amsterdam for the day.
no one contact me before the trip, not easy to find the meeting point. They better to provide all detail information.
Hello, Thank you for your comment. We will take it into account in order to keep improving. The meeting point is specified in the vouchers, as well as a phone number to contact the office in case of need of help. Sorry for the inconveniences. King regards, Camaleón Tours Team
We were lucky to go to the gardens in gorgeous sunny day. The flowers were beautiful and, even though it was practically the end of tulip season, there were lots of tulips to admire. Let’s not forget the other types of flowers, which were many. We followed the guide to a certain point and then were on our own to explore the place as we wished.
This is a don’t miss place . Maybe go 2or 2 week in April. The garden a were gorgeous, but the fields were down blooming. Go see this!
The meeting directions were horrible. Even the concierge at our hotel told us so. No such building/address. The bus was difficult to find. When we finally arrived we were not told to look for the green umbrellas. There was no mention of that! We signed up for English only tour. Our tour ended up being dual language, English/Spanish. Would never recommend or use this tour company again!
Hello, Our meeting point address is specified on every voucher, as well as a contact phone number in case of need of help. We also mention the green umbrellas in order to make it easier to find our guides. We are sorry to hear you had so many troubles, and we apologise for the inconveniences. Kind regards, Camaleon Tours Team
Instructions to find tour bus were not clear. Not only was the address inadequate, most tours mention looking for signs or certain color umbrellas. Had no idea of what to look for. Flowers and park were breathtaking. Tour guide was present on the bus. That is about it. She was no help at all. She led us to the gardens and told us what time to meet and get back on the bus. She played a song for us on the way back. Name of song: “Take a Walk on the Wild Side” listen for yourself. Not appropriate for a crowd you’re not familiar with.
Hello Carla, Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear that the activity didn't meet your expectations. Our sincere apologies, we want you to feel comfortable and enjoy your holidays with us. Our meeting point is specified in the voucher, as well as the indication to look for green umbrellas. Our guides are great professionals but we will encourage them to make a bigger effort in some aspects. Thank you for bringing this to our attention in order to help us keep improving. We hope you still had a nice experience, and sorry for the inconveniences. Kind regards, CAMALEON TOURS TEAM
