Tiny Voorhout packs a big punch when it comes to Holland’s famous flower traditions. Two standout tours make the most of this bulb-growing paradise. My favorite is the intimate Dahlias Bicycle Tour – a perfect 2.5 hours of pedaling past technicolor tulip fields, classic windmills, and manicured castle gardens. For those based in Amsterdam, the 5-hour Tulip Fields of Holland Tour efficiently combines blooms and authentic Dutch culture. Both tours keep groups small and include expert guides, snacks, and site entries. Check out these top tours to explore Voorhout’s flower-growing heritage.
