Giethoorn Small Group Day Trip from Amsterdam with Canal Cruise
Overview
Leave the busy streets of Amsterdam behind and discover the storybook village of Giethoorn, known as the “Venice of the North.” Travel through the Dutch countryside with your professional guide before cruising for 1 hour along peaceful canals lined with thatched-roof farmhouses, beautiful gardens, and charming wooden bridges. After the cruise, enjoy around 2 hours of free time to explore the car-free village at your own pace, take photos, visit local shops, or relax over lunch by the water. With round-trip transportation from Amsterdam, bottled water, and a traditional Dutch stroopwafel included, this is an easy and memorable way to experience one of the Netherlands’ most picturesque villages.
