A comfortable, air-conditioned luxurious minivan will take you to today’s first destination in about 90 minutes. The journey takes you goes through the typical flat Dutch ‘polder’ landscape. Polder is land that has been reclaimed from the sea and most of the land where you drive through today was a sea untill the 1950-ties.

Giethoorn is definitely one of the most picturesque villages of the Netherlands. The town has been one of the most popular tourist villages of the country and is nick named the Dutch Venice.

Let me tell you to get to Giethoom. It is worth the trip to see this little village. But it is packed with other tourist too. But go. The problem is taking a large tour versus a small tour. If we had to do it over again I would have chosen a large tour because of cost. Tour is really just a transport to the town. The boat tour is for all visitors so no difference there. Also we were on our own as we walked around. Also, be prepared for a long ride. but the destination is worth it.

The town of Giethoorn was the saving grace during this trip. Absolutely charming and beautiful....worth visiting again. However, the driver wasn and #39;t the best. It was obvious this was a routine for him and his lack of enthusiasm somewhat tarnished the experience. I recommend going with another company.

the private tour guide/driver was late, and not really provides any guides/information. Doesn't worth to pay such high price

Completely disappointing to say the least, worst birthday day ever, it was depressing. Giethoorn is beautiful, but the tour itself was not worth the money or time. Try going to Giethoorn on your own. I am giving it two stars for the beauty of Giethoorn, the people and the food that was delicious.

Giethoorn is an excellent place worth visit. _br/_ Unfortunately, the driver was very unprofessional, keep trying to persuade us to go somewhere he recommend instead of Batavia Stad Fashion Outlet as scheduled even we refused. Then he drove pass the outlet and claimed that he missed the exit and trying to take us somewhere else. Other 2 girls in the same group insisted to go as original plan, so, we lost an hour in traffic. Then the 2 girls just turn up almost an hour late for departure without noticing. The whole group have to wait .......however, I do not blame them as I should have do the same.
