4.00The town itself was phenomenal! Absolutely gorgeous. The drive is about 2 hours long, then a 60 minute boat tour, then about 2.5 hours to grab lunch and explore the city. Definitely make sure you go into the church and make a peace bird! We learned a lot about the history of the Netherlands and Giethoorn.

3.00The trip went well but, on arrival, the driver pointed out the presence of the toilets, we went in six and, on the return to the bus, the group had already moved and boarded for the ride to Giethoorn. Thanks to the help of the parking attendant we were then able to catch another boat after 45 minutes. On the way back, however, on the ticket it was written to meet us in front of the restaurant located opposite the boarding and, instead, asking the boat attendants, they told us to go directly to the bus. Luckily we asked! On arrival at the bus the driver did not even apologize. Everything normal so... low mark to the organization, beautiful village.
Well organized tour of Giethoorn
