Overview

The peaceful village of Giethoorn, in the Overijssel province, is like a small countryside-version of Venice: numerous waterways connect several little islands where the farmers live in centuries-old farmhouses with thatched roofs. Just like Venice, there are no roads in Giethoorn, which gives the village the same peaceful, magical atmosphere. The village borders the wetlands of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a nature reserve with the largest fen of northwestern Europe.

The islands are connected by wooden bridges, owned by the residents. But the best way to explore the Dutch Venice is by taking a boat, which we encourage you to do. Cruise the canals and enjoy the beauty of the canals, the houses, and the surrounding wetlands. Also, you can have a stroll in the village and enjoy lunch in one of the several good restaurants.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
