Picturesque Village of Giethoorn a highlight - Excellent tour guide and interesting places to see. The canal ride and lunch in beautiful Giethoorn Village was a real highlight. Also enjoyed the cheese and shoemaking demos.
Made time to tour a windmill which was a new experience.

Disappointed - Our guide was very nice and really tried but we could not understand him. We had to sit in the back and could not hear anything he said. If you don’t like close quarters this is not the tour for you. We were 9 people shoulder to shoulder in a mini van. Again, guide was nice but did not need to be escorting English speaking clients
