City & Guide were Amazing - To sum up Our trip
1. The Guide " Rick", a Dutch with great sense of Humor, explained a lot of the Dutch culture as well as the city we were heading to.
2. The Guide had a great planning of the information along the way. First, when we embarked, he explained the stories behind many buildings we saw, then he transitioned to stories and history about Giethoorn as we got closer to our destination, leaving us in the city center with much information latching to our minds.
3. The boat trip with cheese platter, was amazing, and the boat guide was also friendly.
4. The guide "Rick", on the way back, have explained the water engineered landscapes with a map to wrap up the history and how the Dutch provinces came to be.
5. The driver "Paul" was professional and friendly and was quick to help whenever a passenger needed.
6. The company provided a great meeting point, where they allowed us to sit in a cafe until the trip start.

Book the early tour! - Giethoorn get super busy in the afternoon and there is essentially only one road through the village. Loved there early departure tour we could walk around without being crowded and leave before the mayhem. Even the canals have traffic jams , so I was happy to be in a large tour boat with an experienced driver telling us the history of the place. I would personally not bother to rent my own boat as you just contribute to the congestion .

Must do live guided tour to Giethoorn - This live guided tour was perfect organized. It was breathtaking to see the lovely picturesque village Giethoorn, with his tiny canals en beautifull houses.
The cheese tasting we used was very tasteful and gave us the change to meet real Dutch cheese direct from the farm. From our point of view a recommended live guided tour !!

A Day Outside Amsterdam - Such an enjoyable day. Eva is an outstanding guide. She shared such insightful information of Giethoorn. But what I found even more enlightening is her knowledge of The Netherlands plus all the wonderful scenery as we traveled to Giethoorn. Thank you to Kevin for our safe travels.
