Full description
Explore Giethoorn on a guided day tour from Amsterdam by bus and electric boat. Admire the charming canals and traditional homes as you cruise along the water. Wander along the narrow footpaths and bridges and get a sense of local life as you explore. Depart Amsterdam and travel to the enchanting village of Giethoorn in the north of the Netherlands. Explore a village notable for its many canals and complete lack of roads. Upon arrival, explore the fairy-tale village, where only 2,700 people live, with the highlight on a 1-hour guided boat trip on a small electric boat. You get a chance to navigate the private boat reserved for the group. Experience the idyllic scenery from a unique perspective on a leisurely trip through the canals. Watch people punt the traditional flat-bottom boats over the canals as you go. Although most transport in the village is by water, there is also now a cycling path. So, after your boat tour, explore the beautifully preserved village by bike or on foot. See how each farmhouse is built on a small man-made island. Wander the narrow footpaths to discover more than 180 bridges, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the village. Return to Amsterdam Central Station.

GetYourGuide traveler – SingaporeOctober 18, 2023 – Verified booking
The trip was great. The tour group was small with only 8 persons and all of us fitted into a mini van. The drive to Giethoorn was safe and smooth and our guide Veronica gave us a clear and concise history of Giethoorn along the way. The boat trip was enjoyable in the small electric boat despite the slight rain and overcast sky. There was plenty of free time to have lunch and explore the picturesque village after the boat ride. The village was not crowded since it was not the peak season so the entire stay was extremely relaxed and peaceful.

This trip was amazing. Our group was small and the weather was great. Our guide Aku was outstanding. He took us to see the tulip fields on the way to Giethoorn even it wasn't in the plan. He knew how to avoid crowds and to enable us to experience the peace of the place. I highly recommend this trip.

This trip was incredible and my guide, Veronica was outstanding! She was super sweet and knowledgeable. A couple days ahead, I got a notice that the trip was going to leave an hour earlier to also go to Zaanse Schans - both of these places are not to be missed while in Amsterdam/Netherlands. I had already booked a trip there for another day but was able to cancel and got two for one on this trip! Nothing felt rushed. We had plenty of free time in both places and additionally had a specific stop for lunch, so eating didn’t come from our free time in either town. The boat ride thru Giethoorn was truly magical. I’m not a big fan of guided tours usually, but I would definitely do this again. There was great information I got along the drive and while walking the town, I would never have known if I visited on my own.
