The trip to Gieethorn was very enjoyable; the duration of the experience was fine. I recommend bringing your own food if you can, so you’ll have more time to explore Gieethorn. If you have some extra time, you can also take a boat and cruise through the canals on your own before or after the scheduled boat tour.

They organized the trip very well, starting right on time and reaching Giethoorn as scheduled. During the boat ride, they provided clear and interesting explanations about the village, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time exploring the village on foot before the boat tour began, which gave us a chance to really take in its charm. The return journey was smooth, and we were dropped off safely at the designated point. Overall, it was a well-managed and enjoyable experience.

Enjoy a full-day Giethoorn tour from Amsterdam with luxury coach transfers, a scenic canal cruise, and flexible free time to explore at your own pace.

Travel comfortably through the Dutch countryside in a luxury coach with smooth round-trip transfers from central Amsterdam included.

Discover Giethoorn, the “Venice of the North,” where peaceful canals, wooden bridges, and charming thatched-roof homes replace busy roads and traffic.

Cruise through Giethoorn’s picturesque waterways on a 1-hour canal boat ride while guides share stories and insights about the village’s history and traditions.

Prefer exploring independently? Opt for the self-guided experience and enjoy free time your way—wander canal paths, dine at a café, browse local shops, or simply relax by the canals.

The day trip was perfect. Starting with a really nice bus and tour guide providing details about the country and sites along the way. He also provided details on Giethoorn and what to do and not do. Great experience that I would recommend to anyone, especially those new to the Netherlands

I guess the name of our tour guide was Alina. And in my opinion she was a great guide. Thanks for the absolutely memorable trip!
