We were picked up at our hotel exactly on time. Our driver was very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. The canal tour was lovely, such a quaint and peaceful canal village.

Absolutely wonderful day trip to Giethoorn. The “small group” ended up being my wife and myself. We were met by our driver, Sander, who was fantastic- friendly, interesting and informative. He drove us in a luxurious Mercedes “Executive Taxi” which was extremely comfortable. The included canal cruise was great, showing all around the village. So happy we chose this tour!!!

We had a great day with Simon and Keto. Two of the best tour guides you could ever ask for!! As I have told my kids since they were little; it is not the places we visit but the people we meet along the way. Thanks for making the day with our family so enjoyable!!
