5.00Despite getting caught in some rain, this small group tour was a wonderful experience. We arrived at Giethoorn ahead of large buses and had an incredible time cruising the canals with little other traffic. Our guide Anzi was well prepared for the weather and also very informative. I highly recommend this tour.
Great experience - highly recommend!

4.00Our guide for this small group tour was Anzo. I had read reviews of him prior to going with him; and all the accolades were well deserved. Anzo was most informative and did an excellent job of discussing the history of the Netherlands. He was very kind and went above and beyond by driving us back to our hotel after the tour. I felt the city was like Helen, Georgia in the sense that the city was built around a Mennonite community in 1958. There was a history in the area; and they turned it into a place suitable for families with canal tours and many outdoor cafes.
A beautiful day

5.00We booked this experience as one of our Amsterdam days. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and it was well organized and the vehicle was very comfortable. We ended up with three of us, seven in total. If I was redoing my trip, I'm not certain I would do this day. It was everything advertised and we enjoyed it. It was a bit more touristy than we envisioned. The first half hour on the water was delightful, but then the crowds came. And these were tourists, hen parties...folks that should not have been maneuvering boats. So it was a bit more congested and busy than I had realized. We were there on a Saturday, which may have also contributed to this. While in Giethoorn, we did have enough time to go to Restaurant 141, which we enjoyed very much. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food and staff were great. We did get to wander a little bit to check out some of the shops. I do wish we had a bit more time to wander further, although I'm not sure how much there was to see. It is very easy to find the van and when we returned we popped into the Central Library and their rooftop, as it's right next door.
Beautiful village—Anzi was the BEST !
