Ibraham was a very informative tour guide. His knowledge of the local history and culture was exceptional, and it was the perfect time to go. I especially appreciated the stop at the local farm, where we were able to sample local produce. Overall I would recommend.

This 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.

Giethoorn is a lovely little town and is worth the visit. Our tour guide, Jay, was very knowledgeable and personable. It is unfortunate that we weren’t dropped off where we met and we weren’t told that was going to happen until the tour ended. We were dropped off in an unfamiliar place with no restrooms near us. I was traveling with an 80 year old family member with mobility issues, walking unfamiliar streets trying to find her a bathroom (the one on the bus was not working). I would highly suggest dropping off customers in a place where they have access to restrooms after a 90 minute bus ride. Also asking if they need help getting their bearings to know where they are would have been helpful. I would still recommend the tour and the guide!
