The Netherlands & Belgium - Our signature tour!

Join Explore Flower Tours for our signature tour to the Netherlands & Belgium. For our 10th tour to these flower-filled countries we have added new locations and new workshops with new designers, but we will still visit the must-see sights including Keukenhof, the Dutch flower auction, and Bruges.

For this tour we are offering the option to join us early so that you can participate in decorating a float for the ‘Bloemencorso’, the flower parade that is the hallmark of the Dutch spring season.

For the first time we are offering the option to choose which country you would like to visit, or you can join the entirety of the tour for a discounted price.
