Beautiful place to visit. - We had a great time visiting Giethoorn. Jay was an excellent guide keeping everyone on the bus engaged in the conversation. Loved his humor. The canal boat ride was a bonus showing the beauty of the village. This tour is a must!

Great tour! All perfectly organized & timed! - Definitely worth the time & money! Our tour guide spent the trip to Giethoorn discussing the history & explaining the mechanics of reclaiming the land from the sea. He stopped & got us local apples, & gave us bottled waters, too! Boat trip was interesting and beautiful. We had 2 hours to wander around the town & grab lunch. It was a perfect amount of time.

A beautiful and relaxing tour - My friend and I took Dutch Trip tour on 3rd of September. The trip was very relaxing and enjoyable. It was a small tour, only three people. The tour guy had a great knowledge of Netherlands. He told us about the history, geography and culture on the way to Giethoorn. He also took us to a farm where we had a taste of fresh fruit. When we arrived at Giethoorn, our tour guy became our captain. He showed us the cute houses, the famous Grand Cafe Fanfare, etc. Later we were sailed to the big lake and it was so quiet and beautiful. After the boat ride, we had over two hours free time to wonder around the beautiful village and had a delicious meal at Fanfare. The tour guy was so kind that he dropped us at our hotel after the tour. This was an amazing tour.
