From Amsterdam: Giethoorn Day Trip with Boat Tour

From Amsterdam: Giethoorn Day Trip with Boat Tour & Afsluitdijk Visit

Escape Amsterdam for a day to discover Giethoorn, known as "Little Venice" for its network of canals that replace roads entirely. This car-free village features thatched-roof farmhouses, wooden bridges, and waterways where boats are the primary mode of transport. Your day includes a stop at the remarkable Afsluitdijk, a 32-kilometre dam that protects the Netherlands from the North Sea.

Travel by luxury coach with an English and Spanish-speaking guide who shares insights into Dutch culture and engineering. The highlight is your one-hour canal cruise through Giethoorn's peaceful waterways, where you'll see centuries-old homes reflected in the water and spot local wildlife. After the guided boat tour, you'll have free time to explore the village's cafés and shops before returning to Amsterdam.
