Giethoorn Day Trip from Amsterdam with Boat Trip
Overview
Tired of rushed sightseeing? This is your exclusive pass to a full day of tranquility in Giethoorn, the 'Venice of the North'!
Your day begins at 10:00 AM in Amsterdam. Settle into our air-conditioned coach for a scenic journey through the picturesque Dutch countryside.
For centuries, little has changed in Giethoorn, offering a rare, peaceful escape. Experience the authentic Dutch way of living with and on the water. This tour gives you the time you truly deserve.
Your experience includes the signature cruise: you will glide silently past masterfully restored, thatched-roof farmhouses on your included 1-hour boat trip.
