Details

Meet your guide and fellow travelers at a central location near Amsterdam's Central Station and head out to Giethoorn as a group. Watch the city turn to countryside as you get further away from Amsterdam, passing by dams and bucolic scenes as your guide provides narration.

Once you reach Giethoorn, you'll board a cruise for an hour-long trip through the town, passing through canals and alongside old homes and structures as you learn about the village's history. After your boat ride, you’ll have the option to grab lunch (at your own cost) before making your way back to Amsterdam as a group.

Giethoorn
Giethoorn is typically referred to as ‘Venice of the North’. As cars aren’t allowed, transportation is traditionally on foot, by bike, or by boat. The village is adorned with stunning farmhouses and picturesque bridges that will leave you in awe.

A highlight of this tour is a 1-hour boat ride through the enchanting canals that meander through the village. You will be treated to breathtaking views of the Dutch countryside and learn about the rich history of craftsmanship and the fascinating secrets of Holland.
