We looked at doing this ourselves, but when looking at value for money found this a much better and hassle free option. When you get the This is Holland you join the queue to get your tickets and head to the assigned bus (suggest arriving 20min before your time slot as there can be a long queue!), we headed to Zaan Schanse first, where you can stroll around at your leisure and just keep an eye on time so you don't miss the bus to Keukenhof. Zaan Schanse is very pretty and lots to see, each windmill you can enter to learn different things, but a small fee is charged - we did the first one which cost 9euro for 2, and you can climb up to the platform, also get a hot chocolate from there. We did the next windmill which cost 12 euro but didn't have much to see apart from a video showing what the windmill is used for (linseed oil) so would skip that one to be honest. Cheese and clog shops are a must. Keukenhof is beautiful but be sure to visit the tulip fields next to it
An amazing day out. It feels a bit daunting to find where to travel to get the meeting point/office. But super easy if staying in centrum area, go to central train station. Walk thru the station to the waters edge to ferry point (free trip) 5 mins ride and walk over to the circular building, 2mins. Efficient staff and co-ordination. Arrive 20-30mins before departure. (Coffee shop/toilets avail) Departed on time. It was just the transfers & keukenhof entrance included. Great to explore on ur own. Well worth it.
