* Exceeded all expectations!
*Outstanding and professional tour guide. We felt we had won the lottery with Erwin.
*Most unique and beautiful experience gliding along the canals.
*From pick up Erwin engaged with us and answered any questions with the knowledge of a local, which he is. The 1hr journey felt like 15mins and his car was spotless and very comfortable. He treated us like royalty.
*Arriving before the crowds is important as the canals get congested with tourists hiring little boats.
*The larger canal boat operators have right of way along the canals and give a great commentary of the history of the town.
* Highly recommend this tour and if you are fortunate to have Erwin as your guide, you will have a fun day!

This was truly a beautiful trip boating through the canals of the city.
Danny and his father Sam gave us a wonderful experience and knowledge about the area and Amsterdam itself.
We thoroughly enjoyed the side trip out into a beautiful area

We spent a wonderful day exploring the serene beauty of Giethoorn on a private trip booked through Viator. The village was as magical as we imagined — peaceful canals, charming cottages, and a perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind.

Giethoorn has heavenly beauty. The entire process of the trip was made easier by the meticulous planning of the operators involved and the direct interaction of our very able guide.

We had seen many of the special sights of Amsterdam. This was our first time to Giethroon. We were thrilled with the charming community and Edwin our driver who was informative and very gracious with however we wanted to plan our day. Would recommend to individuals and families to enjoy a special day in Giethroon.

A nice day in a village different from the town but too expensive dor whay it was. The driver was super friendly and brought us in the tulips fields but other way to do it less expensive.

Sam was an awesome tour guide and did a great job. He was on time and customized our trip to what we wanted to do. He also goes the extra mile and we were able to do somethings other tours were not doing. I would book another tour with him in a heartbeak.

Wonderful location. The village is so cute. The driver was so nice, he was on time and he was so polite, he gave us good suggestions

Wonderful experience. Sam was our guide, he was very prompt, showed up at the hotel in a private Sprinter and drove us to Giethoorn. Once we got the the town he arranged the private boat ride for us, my partner and I opted to operate the boat ourselves for a private hour from the little canals into the lake, it was perfect. Afterwards Sam gave us the option to have lunch, he recommended a great place, we walked around a bit afterwards and then he drove us back to the hotel. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to visit the town.
