Kudos to Jay who was a fantastic tour host who kept everyone engaged with his witty humour and good history knowledge of the country and great tips to make your holiday a memorable one. He even stopped the bus to get all of us to taste fresh organic apples from a local place which definitely tasted better”

“Excellent way to get a broad overview of the Netherlands. The two stops were both beautiful and informative, with just enough time at each to see and do before moving on. The coach bus was quite comfortable (nothing you can do about people who think watching videos on their phone without a headset. Some people are just rude. 🙄) Abrahim was outstanding - - funny, knowledgeable, positive and professional - - and made a good tour excellent. I would tour with him again without hesitation.”

“Anzi was an amazing guide in Giethoorn! He got us on the canals early, before the crowds, and even took us to quiet spots the big tours don’t visit. It was absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful. If you’re thinking about a large group tour, skip it. A smaller tour with Anzi is 100% the way to go. Highly recommend!”

Small-group Giethoorn day trip from Amsterdam with a one-hour electric boat ride, easy walking time, and guided local context.
“Giethoorn is a very quaint village that is overrun by far too many tourists. The crowds on the footpaths, in the restaurants, and especially in the canals where it was bow to stern boat traffic was particularly disappointing. To add insult to injury, the tour company, Cherry Tours, committed the unforgivable blunder of designating their meeting/pickup spot exactly where five thousand runners were marshaling for a marathon. The one bright spot was a tour guide, Amy, who was knowledgeable, friendly and informative.Giethoorn is a lovely village until the tourist invaders show up.”
