Allow yourself to be seduced by "The Dutch Venice" with this excursion to the pastoral region of Giethoorn, where you'll pass through its famous canals in a delightful boat trip.

Giethoorn Day Trip

At the indicated time, we'll depart from the center of Amsterdam towards the north of Holland. After a 2-hour bus ride, we'll arrive at the picturesque town of Giethoorn, which borders the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, one of the Netherlands' most beautiful natural areas.

Upon arrival, we'll leave the bus to enjoy a trip by boat through the canals of Giethoorn, the only way to access the town center. During the crossing, you will admire typical Dutch houses and wooden bridges connecting the canal banks.

We'll also learn about the history of Giethoorn, known as "The Dutch Venice" due to its absence of motor vehicles. After the boat trip, you'll have time for lunch in the town to explore the local gastronomy.

Following lunch, we'll return to the bus for the trip back to Amsterdam, culminating in a total duration of approximately 7 to 9 hours.
