Details

Meet your guide near Amsterdam Central Station and travel together toward Giethoorn, passing polders, dams, and rural landscapes along the way. During the drive, your guide provides insight into the region’s history, water management, and daily life in the Dutch countryside.

Upon arrival in Giethoorn, often referred to as the “Venice of the North,” explore a village where canals replace roads and transport is traditionally done by foot, bicycle, or boat. Board a 1-hour canal cruise and glide past traditional farmhouses, wooden bridges, and narrow waterways while learning about the village’s origins and development.

After the boat cruise, enjoy free time to explore Giethoorn at your own pace. You may choose to have lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense), take a walk along the canals, or relax by the water before regrouping for the return journey to Amsterdam.

This tour offers a relaxed way to experience one of the Netherlands’ most distinctive villages, combining guided insight with time for independent exploration.
