Passeios por Giethoorn

Tickets and tour vouchers were obtained smoothly. Station staff directed us to platform B to wait for the guide to lead us onto the bus. Sitting on the upper deck of the double-decker bus provided a better view during the journey. The first stop was Afsluitdijk, where we had a brief 30-minute stay to learn about the Dutch dam engineering technology that balances the separation of sea and land. The second stop was Giethoorn. We first took a traditional boat tour for 1 hour, followed by a very generous 2.5 hours of free time. Strolling through the village with its small bridges, flowing water, and houses, the overall experience was very satisfying. I recommend this to travelers who don't want to go by themselves but wish to spend more time in Giethoorn.

Peter was a really wonderful tour guide and driver! He provided every little bit of information we needed to know about the tour and the location. During our 4-hour bus round trip, he didn't rest at all but kept providing us with useful information in a soft and low voice, which was perfect for those who wanted to listen and rest at the same time!

Geweldige ervaring. We hadden het geluk dat de zon scheen in dit sombere seizoen, terwijl we volop genoten van de bezienswaardigheden van de Zaanse Schans en Giethoorn. De gids is niet alleen deskundig, geestig en geduldig, hij is ook een alles-in-één, want hij was tegelijkertijd onze minibuschauffeur en onze boottochtchauffeur gedurende deze hele tour. Een absolute aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een ontspannende tour.

The overall experience of this trip (3/7) was excellent. Our guide, Adu, provided clear and well-organized explanations throughout. He not only introduced the historical background and cultural characteristics of each attraction in great detail but also made it easy for everyone to understand in a relaxed and engaging way, making the entire itinerary enriching without feeling dull. Adu himself was very enthusiastic, patiently answering all questions from the group members, and his itinerary planning and time management were impeccable. The attractions on the itinerary were also well worth seeing, such as the beautiful Zaanse Schans Windmill Village, full of traditional Dutch charm, and the playful LEGO town, which is perfect for photos. Each place had its unique characteristics. Giethoorn was particularly impressive, with its small bridges, flowing water, and tranquil village atmosphere making one feel very relaxed. Overall, it was a rich and enjoyable journey. Not only did we see many distinctive places, but thanks to Adu's professional and enthusiastic guidance, the entire trip was smoother and full of fun. It comes highly recommended.

We enjoyed our time in Giethoorn with this tour from Amsterdam Noord. Our driver and guide Mike was really friendly and patient. He was given clear instructions and useful information for us. Though the weather could be better, but it didn't affect Giethoorn's charm, and joining this tour meant it saved us time from changing public transport and also choosing the boat company. The guide of the one-hour boat tour was also very informative and entertaining. After the boat tour, we still had around 2 hours of free time to stroll along the beautiful village.

We are so happy we booked this tour, it was absolutely amazing, and we highly recommend it! A huge thank you to our tour guide, Leidse. We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and energetic,truly the best tour guide ever! He’s also an excellent photographer who made sure we captured beautiful memories. We visited the places I had always wanted to see in the Netherlands: Zaanse Schans, Lego Village, and Giethoorn. Since we were a small group, we had plenty of free time to explore and take pictures. The weather was sunny and perfect, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and unforgettable!

K7 Travel's Surui is professional and dedicated. At first, I thought the price was high, but after actually going, the transportation, lunch, and boat trip added up to be very cost-effective, even cheaper and more relaxing than going by myself! Highly recommended.

Special compliments to tour guide Leidse. You can truly see his energy and passion for this job. He is the type of tour guide who can make things fun and take good pictures, and explain different facets of Dutch history. All in all, the tour is well-designed and good value for money! I really enjoyed my time with Leidse's service.
