Great finale to a super trip - Was in Amsterdam for a short break. Went here on the penultimate day. We got lucky, the weather was clear when we were there. The place is out of a story book. The houses really look to be from a movie set. Our driver and tour guide was Danny. He was unbelievable. Vehicle came well on time and it was nice and clean. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained on the drive to and back. The boat ride was amazing. The best one hour we spent here. We also walked around the village and took in the beauty. This is a must do and this team is highly recommended. Reliable, knowledgable and extremely polite.

A beautiful trip out of Amsterdam it doesn't yeah if you put it smart view - This was truly a beautiful trip boating through the canals of the city. Danny and his father Sam gave us a wonderful experience and knowledge about the area and Amsterdam itself. We thoroughly enjoyed the side trip out into a beautiful area

Trip To Giethoorn - I booked a “private transportation and tour” to Giethoorn, but the experience did not match what was advertised. The transportation itself was private, but no actual tour was provided. The driver did not act as a guide in any way—there was no explanation, no commentary, and no interaction during the 3-hour drive. We were simply dropped off and later picked up. Additionally, the boat ride in Giethoorn was not private as expected. Instead, we were placed on a large group boat with around 30 other people, which completely defeats the purpose of booking a “private” experience. Overall, this felt very misleading. What was sold as a private tour ended up being just transportation plus a crowded group boat ride. I strongly recommend confirming all details before booking, as this was not the experience we paid for.
