Kudos to Jay who was a fantastic tour host who kept everyone engaged with his witty humour and good history knowledge of the country and great tips to make your holiday a memorable one. He even stopped the bus to get all of us to taste fresh organic apples from a local place which definitely tasted better”

10.Giethoorn Day Trip with Small Electric Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 578 reviews · 8 hours · from $151

Review of a small-group Giethoorn day trip from Amsterdam, with a guided electric boat ride, village walks, free time, and practical booking tips.

“We had a great day. Giethoon was very crowded so I would try to go on a weekday if possible. There was not enough participation for what we booked so they upgraded us to a stop at the windmills, cheese tasting and clog making demo also. It was well worth the extra time. There is a 1.5 hour ride to Giethoon from Amsterdam so be prepared for that. They went above and beyond for us to make another appointment and we really appreciated the assistance. Great tour company!”
