Discover one of the Netherlands’ most magical destinations on an unforgettable day trip from Amsterdam. Leave the busy city behind and visit Giethoorn, famously known as the Venice of the Netherlands. In this charming village, canals replace roads, boats are the preferred way to get around, and more than 180 bridges connect the picturesque streets and walking paths.
Travel with the official Giethoorn partner, proudly voted Best Giethoorn Tour Operator in 2024 and 2025, and experience Giethoorn in a relaxed, comfortable and authentic way.
The highlight of your day is your own private electric boat, reserved exclusively for your party. No crowded sightseeing boat, just complete freedom to explore Giethoorn at your own pace. The boat is quiet, environmentally friendly and easy to operate. Cruise through narrow canals, pass centuries-old thatched-roof farmhouses, glide beneath charming wooden bridges and stop whenever you like to take photos or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
After your boat trip, continue exploring Giethoorn on foot with our exclusive Hidden Gems Walking Route. Created by local experts, this route takes you beyond the busiest streets to quiet canals, scenic walking paths, charming bridges, viewpoints and beautiful corners that many visitors never discover. Take your time to browse local shops, relax on a waterfront terrace, enjoy lunch beside the canals or simply soak up the unique atmosphere of the village.
No visit to the Dutch countryside is complete without tasting authentic Dutch cheese. Enjoy a complimentary tasting at the famous Henri Willig Cheese Farm, where you can sample a selection of traditional Dutch cheeses. You will also receive an exclusive discount to take your favourites home.
Feeling hungry during the day? You will also receive a 10% discount at our local partner restaurant De Rietstulp, beautifully located along the waterfront.
