It was a fun day with a quintessential Holland experience. The boat cruise in Giethoorn was fun, but it was very crowded, so we were unable to see much more of the town. Our guide Pete was excellent -knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a lot. It would have been nice to have some more time at both places. The vehicle was tight for 9 passengers and given the time spent in the car (4.5 hours), it would have been more comfortable to have a larger van.
