Reviews Giethoorn Canals
“Fantastic day, Guide extremely informative. Whole process very easy, if I had one suggestion it would be slightly clearer instructions on finding the meeting point at the central station as it is so big it's easy to get confused. Beautiful place and so relaxing”
“The Giethoorn tour was one of the best tour I have joined. Ian, the tour guide is friendly. Over all the trip is excellent and enjoyable.”
“El guía excelente. Con mucho conocimiento y muy simpatico. Con español perfecto. El bus cómodo. Mascarillas obligatorias. Lo que me pareció excelente. La Venecia de los Países Bajos es algo que no te puedes perder.”
