Spring is coming (I hope - it's snowing outside my window as I write this), but one thing is certain - Amsterdam is planning for the tulips. 

Do you want to go see them?

You can discover the vibrant colors and lively atmosphere of tulip season in the Netherlands from March 23 to May 14, 2023.

Keukenhof Tulip Gardens is open from March 23 till 14 May 2023. It’s the best day out among the tulips near Amsterdam! 

Every year, more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted by hand in the autumn to flower in spring. There is a variety of 800 different tulips. A unique and unforgettable experience for everyone.

You can see the Keukenhof schedule here 

And, of course, I have various partners who have trips in and around Amsterdam - river cruises and hotels, and maybe a land tour or two as well.

And, of course, listen to Tiny Tim, and singalong to "Tiptoe through the Tulips." (You're welcome for the ear worm. )

My boutique agency is called Lush Life Travel. I am an affiliate of Vision Travel. Vision Travel has recently rebranded to Direct Travel. 

As a client Lush Life Travel, this change won't really impact you. You will begin to see some logo differences on invoices you receive from me for travel (as per our regulators), and you'll see Vision Travel now be referred to as Direct Travel Company.

Just wanted you to know. 

Glide into another era.
