    Giethoorn

    Nowadays called "Venice of the North" as this beatiful village has no streets, just waterways going around the beautiful thatched roofed farms. You will go on a private small open boat together with your guide or join a 1,5 hour canal cruise in a heated and covered canal boat. You will be asked in advance what you would prefer and this will depend on the weather. Before getting around by boat, you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant (included). After the visit of Giethoorn, you will drive back to Amsterdam over newly reclaimed land.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Giethoorn and Enclosing Dike Private Day Tour from Amsterdam?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
