Things to do in 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.

Lovely experience. Our guide Surui was also professional and affable. He was punctual, made adjustments for us so we can do the boat ride before the rain and also made sure he ordered our lunch in advance with the restaurant. learned alot from him regarding the windmills as well as the beautiful houses at Giethoorn.

A 10/10 experience, coming from a female solo traveller! It may be more exp than the rest but it’s worth every penny. there is only a small group of us (8 pax) and the guide (Reinier) will take care of you from the start to the end, from preparing water bottles, picking you up directly from the hotel, preparing powerbank, wifi and everything! he makes sure we go early enough to avoid the crowd and get good pictures (he knows the best spots for pics). As compared to a large bus tour, this is a curated tour for smaller groups to understand the history of the places, and this tour includes the additional Lego House in Zandaam and most importantly Giethoorn which is a MUST go cause it’s so charming. I cannot recommend this tour and the tour guide Reiner enough!

An absolutely incredible full-day tour from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn—honestly way better than many of the highly rated tours on the platform! Mukti was an outstanding guide who truly went the extra mile to ensure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. His friendly attitude, patience, and thoughtful explanations made the entire journey enjoyable and meaningful, not just a sightseeing trip. The itinerary was well-planned with perfect pacing—no rush, no confusion, just a smooth and relaxing experience. Both Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn were breathtaking, and we had ample time to enjoy each stop properly. Special thanks to Cherry as well, who handled our last-min booking effortlessly and made sure everything was arranged smoothly. Her prompt and helpful communication really made a difference. Overall, this was a seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality day tour in Netherlands!

This day trip left me with very satisfying memories. Not only did we have perfect weather, with clear blue skies and white clouds all day, but we also met an excellent tour guide, Mr. KunHao. He proactively contacted us the day before the tour, which helped us understand the meeting point in advance. Furthermore, his management of the entire itinerary, explanations, and introductions to local details were all spot-on. Finally, when we returned to the meeting point at 6 PM, he personally bid farewell to each of us at the car door. I was extremely satisfied with the entire trip and hope to have the opportunity to ask KunHao to introduce other sights in the Netherlands in the future. Thumbs up!

It was a nice and enjoyable trip, the tour guide which cover everything as driver and he explained very well all the places visited. recommended for those new to Netherlands since the tour taken care very well from end to end by the tour guide name is Eric.

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

Highly recommend this tour! The driver also acted as our guide on the bus, and I really appreciated that he didn't talk the entire time, giving us some quiet time to rest during the journey. The bus ride was about 90 minutes, followed by a lovely 50-minute boat ride. We had plenty of free time to explore on our own until we had to meet back at the bus at 14:30. We arrived back in Amsterdam by 16:20, which was perfect because it left us with plenty of time to continue exploring the city in the late afternoon. Everything went very smoothly and was perfectly organized.
