5.00Hands down, the best tour we've had! Or guide Jay got us there all the while providing information on where we were going and what we were passing through to get there. Handed over to our boat captain and had a wonderful, informative hour ride through Giethoorn. This is one to consider if you're only doing one or two destinations.
Outstanding tour guide, pleasant in every way! Highly recommended by both of us!!!

Giethorn Does Not Disappoint!

5.00This is our first visit to Amsterdam. We read that a trip to Giethorn was worthwhile. We debated renting a car or going by public transit. We selected this tour and it was wonderful! Ibrahim was our tour guide and he provided background on not only Giethorn but also on the Netherlands! During our free time, we got lost and he tracked us down via What’s App. Giethorn is a wonderful, romantic excursion.
Giethroorn day trip from Amsterdam : excellent 👍
