Overview

Discover the beauty of the Netherlands on a guided day trip from Amsterdam to Giethoorn. Travel with our Giethoorn Express and arrive in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes at the famous "Venice of the North." This charming, car-free village is known for its peaceful canals, picturesque bridges, and traditional thatched-roof houses.

Upon arrival, enjoy a cheese tasting at the Henri Willig Cheese Store before boarding your 45-minute canal cruise. Your experienced skipper will share fascinating stories about Giethoorn's history, culture, and daily life while you take in the stunning scenery.

After the cruise, enjoy free time to explore the village, have lunch, browse local shops, or simply relax by the canals. This is the perfect escape from Amsterdam for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking an authentic Dutch experience.
