Planning a trip to see the tulip festival and blooming fields as well as the flower parade in Keukenhof. This will be in Spring of 2025 or 2026. Our daughter wi be part of a study abroad semester as a horticulture student. There will be 3 of us coming from the USA and then she will travel with us once we are there. I am trying to get an idea of cost so we can start preparing for this trip. Would also like VanGogh museum, see windmills, and helicopter over the tulip fields. I’m sure there are many wonderful sights that I will find to go see before then, but I think that’s a good start. So, approximate airfare, hotel expenses, food, etc. are requested.
Thank you!!
