Description
Escape the city and discover Giethoorn, the Netherlands’ most enchanting waterside village, on a full-day trip from Amsterdam. Travel in comfort by luxury coach and explore the famous "Venice of the Netherlands" in the most unique way possible: aboard your very own private electric boat.
Unlike traditional tours with crowded canal cruises, this experience gives you exclusive use of a private electric sloop for up to 7 guests. Cruise through Giethoorn’s picturesque canals at your own pace, glide beneath charming wooden bridges, admire centuries-old thatched-roof farmhouses, and stop wherever you like to capture photos or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings.
Before arrival, your driver will share useful tips and local recommendations to help you make the most of your visit. Once in Giethoorn, your boat will be ready and waiting. Easy to operate, silent, and environmentally friendly, it offers the freedom to explore independently and experience the village like a local.
After your cruise, continue your adventure with our exclusive Hidden Gems Walking Route, carefully designed by local experts. Stroll along scenic footpaths, discover quiet corners away from the crowds, and uncover viewpoints that many visitors never get to see.
You'll also have plenty of free time to relax, enjoy lunch by the water, browse charming local shops, or simply wander through the village at your leisure. As a special bonus, you'll receive an exclusive 10% discount at Restaurant De Rietstulp, one of Giethoorn’s most popular waterfront restaurants.
Before returning to Amsterdam, visit the renowned Henri Willig Cheese Farm and enjoy a complimentary tasting of authentic Dutch cheeses. You'll also receive an exclusive discount on purchases, making it the perfect opportunity to take a taste of the Netherlands home with you.
