  • Keukenhof opens only in spring, roughly mid-March to mid-May. Outside the season, Day 4 becomes the Aalsmeer flower auction and Haarlem.
  • Anne Frank House tickets are released online six weeks ahead and sell out quickly.
  • Coaches can't drive into central Amsterdam, so drop-offs use the official coach stops near the hotels.

Use it as it is or as a starting point. Dates, group size, hotel category and budget can all be adjusted, and we'll send a costed version within 48 hours. Available white-labelled for your agency.
