Tulip Day Tours' Experiences
Welcome to our website!
With a focus on authenticity, we offer corona-proof, small-scale public group tours and private tours in the Netherlands.
Our tours go off-the-beaten paths and give you the chance to see a different side of our beautiful country while escaping mass tourism. Our unique way of conducting tours has allowed us to win the Netherlands Prestige Award for 'Tour Operator of the Year' in February 2020.
Our corona protocol enables us to continue our small-scale tours, yet our adjustments allow you to enjoy our tours just like before the crisis. Our adjustments do affect tour availability. Certain tours are unavailable because social distancing can't be guaranteed or because venues have closed. In addition, all small public group tours are downsized to a maximum number of two travel parties.
We can imagine that uncertainty refrains you from booking a tour. But as travelers ourselves we also know that there's hardly any feeling better than the feeling of planning a trip. In order to take away this uncertainty, at all times we guarantee our 24-hr free cancelation policy. As a solid, healthy company excited for the future, we don't work need to work with vouchers.
At any moment, but up to 24 hours before the start of the tour, click 'cancel' in your booking confirmation and receive a full refund instantly.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions or if you need any assistance during your stay in the Netherlands!
