Be ontime, take a raincoat, the weather can change in minutes. It's a bus ride, traffic delays can't be blamed on the the tour operator, just chill. Giethoorn is stunning

My brother and I absolutely loved our time on this tour. The guide was informative, funny, and friendly. Everything was spaced out nicely and organized! The trip itself was beautiful and a highlight of my holiday.

Well organized and very informative. Our guide, Ibrahim, was entertaining and knowledgeable about the countryside we drove through. We appreciated the detail and anecdotal stories. The stop at an organic farm market with fresh fruit and wares for sale, was a highlight. Even some gratis stroopwaffel treats were handed out on our way back to Amsterdam. I would highly recommend this trip.
