1.00Completely trap for tourist. The experience of the dyke it is just a bus drive, there was not even a picture stop, just a bathroom stop. Giethoorn is cute, but very much a place for tourist. The explanations of the guide are pretty basic and a random collection of pieces of information without a clear story of the actual place you are visiting.
