Seasonal & holiday tours Holland
Small group tours to the spring tulip festival activities have set the tone for years at Verita’s Visit Holland. Time for you to discover the festive side of the Netherlands all year long. Inspired on public Dutch holidays and seasonal festivals we present: special tours & celebrations. Immerse yourself in the Dutch local culture. Create new traditions on excursions combining the highlights of the province South Holland with the off the beaten path experiences. Celebrate the Dutch way of life, even if it’s just for 1 day.
What does your Dutch dream holiday tour look like?
March-October Activities, tours & celebrations in Keukenhof surroundings that go beyond the tulipmania. Enjoy guided tours to tulip farms and dance with cows at a cheese farm. Or let your guide surprise you in summer with flower farm bike tour and cherry farm fruit picking. Or what about an off season, less tourist excursion. Pick the dahlia flower and apple harvest festivals in fall! These are celebrations of -Dutch- life in the Flower Region: special small group bike tours, exclusive boat rides, Holland farm visits, windmill & polder family adventures designed for you to connect with the locals, experience the local culture and taste the season & its products.
South Holland winter & holiday tours
September-January With the meteorological fall comes the season of pumpkins and pepernoten. From September till January you get a chance to live the gloomy Dutch dark days in a warming, local way. From new traditional Halloween pumpkin spiced workshops to new and traditional oliebollen - dutch doughnuts- tastings and beer light night rides. Check out the holiday season in the Netherlands and celebrate Sint Maarten, Sinterklaas and Santa Claus the Dutch way!
I enjoy the seasonal events. I realise this after more than 5 years of organising tulip bike tours. All of Verita’s Visit activities are small celebrations of Dutch culture. In my humble opinion it’s best to experience local culture in festivals and local events. Each season in the Netherlands brings something colorful and full of flavor. And I want to show you this. The seasonal and holiday tours on this page are new creations inspired on special occasions. Public holidays in the Netherlands, local festivals and annual typical Dutch events. All great group activities combining the highlights of the province South Holland with the off the beaten path experiences.
Seasonal & holiday tours: fall harvest festival
Our Dutch fall harvest tours pass through quaint villages and picturesque countryside. This is your opportunity to meet with farmers and local artisans. Taste the food, experience the authentic local culture. The workshops make sure you not just see the beautiful province South Holland, but enjoy old traditions and create new. You’ll taste the local apple & pumpkin delicacies and find out about the origin of Thanksgiving.
Team building winter highlights of the holiday season
The winter activities will take you through Delft, The Hague, Leiden and Gouda. Picturesque cities covered in Christmas decorations and ready for their light festivals. These are holiday and seasonal tours and celebrations by sustainable modes of transport with a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Your heart will warm with all festive activities. You’ll celebrate popular folk feasts such as Sint Maarten & Sinterklaas. And lots of opportunity to do your holiday shopping at artisanal stores and local markets.

Spring of course has a lot of tulip bike tours on offer. If you just want to see the tulip fields and flower farms, check this page. The special small group tours are combinations with other local artisanal products and local flower events. Group activities you can do by bike, boat, horse & carriage. April is also the month of many public holidays in the Netherlands. So expect a mix of tulip tours with Dutch national holiday celebrations such as King’s Day.

In the tulip & celebrations Keukenhof section you also find summer flower activities. All celebration tours are about local flower events and fruit picking activities. Here you can get as creative as you want, together with the locals in quiet flower villages.
