5.00Was in Amsterdam for a short break. Went here on the penultimate day. We got lucky, the weather was clear when we were there. The place is out of a story book. The houses really look to be from a movie set. Our driver and tour guide was Danny. He was unbelievable. Vehicle came well on time and it was nice and clean. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained on the drive to and back. The boat ride was amazing. The best one hour we spent here. We also walked around the village and took in the beauty. This is a must do and this team is highly recommended. Reliable, knowledgable and extremely polite.

5.00Our Gierthoorn trip was a visit par excellence. Thanks to the exceptional services provided by tour guide Sam. He not only provided us with necessary information but also ensured that we get our lunch at a good place. We were given free time to venture out in the midst of nature on our own. Very meticulous planning indeed by our tour guide !
