4.00The ride to Giethoorn from Amsterdam was 90 minutes but our guide, Jay, kept us entertained the entire time with lots of information about the area. We even stopped at an orchard where he purchased some delicious apples. The town itself was charming with besutiful, thatched-roof cottages. We were very glad that we took this trip.
A wonderful tour
