Турове с Giethoorn

Giethoorn is a must in the summer. Lucas was informative yet concise. The boat ride lasts an hour and the rest of the intinerary is free time which is perfect.

Redemption of ticket at the tour agency was easy and hassle free. The tour bus was just one level above the ticket office. The tour departed on time and was well organised. Highly recommended to take the tour as Giethoorn is a pretty place.

Прекрасно изживяване. Нашият екскурзовод Суруи беше професионален и любезен. Той беше точен, направи промени за нас, за да можем да се качим на лодката преди дъжда, и също така се погрижи да поръча обяда ни предварително в ресторанта. Научихме много от него за ветропоказателите и влюбените къщи в Гитхорн.

Преживяване 10/10, казано от жена, пътуваща сама! Може да е малко по-скъпо от останалите, но си заслужава всяка стотинка. Групата ни беше малка (само 8 души), а екскурзоводът (Рейниер) се грижеше за нас от началото до края – от осигуряване на бутилки с вода, взимане директно от хотела, до осигуряване на външна батерия, Wi-Fi и всичко останало! Той се погрижи да тръгнем достатъчно рано, за да избегнем тълпите и да направим страхотни снимки (знае най-добрите места за фотосесии). В сравнение с тур с голям автобус, това е бутиков тур за малки групи, който ви позволява да разберете историята на местата. Екскурзията включва и допълнително посещение на къщата от Лего в Зандам и най-вече на Гитхорн, който задължително трябва да се види, защото е изключително очарователен. Не мога да намеря достатъчно думи, за да препоръчам тази екскурзия и екскурзовода Рейнир!

Our tour guide from K7 Travel was Surui. It was a small group of 8 people, picked up and dropped off in a 9-seater van. The guide sends a text message the day before to remind you of the meeting spot and time, and arrives at the meeting place about 5 minutes early, so there is no need to arrive too early (the area around the meeting point is open with no shelter from rain or sun). The only regret was that it rained all day, but the guide was very thoughtful and prepared an umbrella for everyone in advance. After arriving at the Zaanse Schans, the guide led us on a walk, flexibly adjusting the tour pace based on the weather and other conditions, while sharing interesting history and information about the Netherlands and the various sights along the way. After touring the cheese factory and wooden clog factory together, we had about an hour and a half of free time. Next, we headed to Giethoorn, where we had a group lunch first. There were two options for lunch: Chinese food (beef noodles or fried rice) or a Dutch meal. After eating, we all went on a boat tour, which lasted about half an hour. Following the boat tour, we had free time—nearly 2 hours of it. As I recall, we left Giethoorn at 4:00 PM and were back in downtown Amsterdam by 5:30 PM. Since both of these attractions are somewhat far from the city center and traveling there independently is actually quite inconvenient, I feel that joining a guided tour like this offers great value for the money, with plenty of free time allotted. I highly recommend it for travelers who want some free roaming time without the hassle of dealing with transportation on their own.

Despite the nationwide strike and rainy weather, the tour went smoothly overall. Our meeting time was supposed to be 9:30am, but the bus arrived around 10am. As we booked a private tour, I do feel it would be better if the tour duration could be extended accordingly when the delay is caused by circumstances beyond the customer's control. The 30-minute delay meant we had less time for the boating experience, which was one of the main reasons we booked the private tour. That said, the tour guide was very nice and helpful, especially when teaching us how to operate the boat. We still managed to explore Giethoorn, take some beautiful photos and enjoy the experience despite the weather. Overall, still a pleasant trip!

Leidse is full of positive energy and love for engaging his customers! brings in extra context to every landmark making the day trip so worthwhile. I enjoyed myself very much! thank you
