Step by Step
Experience an unforgettable experience in the tranquil village of Giethoorn, known as the "Venice of the North". This fairytale destination will transport you to a place where canals replace streets and boats replace cars.
The tour starts in the centre of Amsterdam, where you will meet your local guide before setting off for the journey to the north of the Netherlands. Along the way, you'll enjoy views of the Dutch countryside and its traditional windmills.
Once in Giethoorn, you 'll cruise for an hour along the canals in a traditional boat, taking in thatched-roof farmhouses, wooden bridges and flowering gardens. Discover how the locals live in harmony with the water in a serene and photogenic environment.
After the walk, you will have free time to stroll around the village, enjoy lunch by the water or visit the craft shops. Your guide will offer recommendations for the best local spots and restaurants before returning to Amsterdam.
