5.00We had a fabulous tour with the wonderful Ibrahim. We’ve had him before and he really makes these tours. He’s fun, knowledgeable and just an all round great guy. The village is beautiful and it’s really worth the time to explore. This was our second time doing this tour and would definitely do it again
Great day out to visit Giethoorn

5.00Great tour guide Ibrahim took us out for the afternoon. Shared so much information about Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Giethoorn on the ride there. We stopped off at an organic fruit and vegetable farm where he got us Prince Apples to try-so delicious! Giethoorn itself was pretty but way too busy with tourists in such a small village. We had more than enough time after an hour long canal cruise to grab a snack at an eatery and walk around. On the way back we stopped back at the farm and were able to pick up some strawberries and then Ibrahim shared stroopwaffles before we arrived back in Amsterdam. A fun day overall.
Great Place, Great Guide.

5.00The guide cum driver was very helpful. He took extra care of us and showed us more places, then usual. He drove us near the action area, which normally the tour operator does not do. In short we had a very good time.

5.00Jay made thos trip super fun! The town was beautiful and busy. Worth the trip with all the foliage. Allowing just anyone to rent a boat to drive the canals should be reviewed. There were people who had no right to be behind a wheel.
