Product Info

I invite you to join me on a private day tour from Amsterdam to Giethoorn, the village where the streets are canals. This tour is for your group only — no strangers, no fixed schedule, no rushing.
The day starts with pickup from your Amsterdam hotel, accommodation, or Schiphol Airport. We drive through open Dutch polder landscape — with photo stops whenever you like — to Giethoorn, often called the "Venice of the North." There we take a canal cruise past thatched farmhouses and gardens, then walk the village paths, cross the wooden bridges, and stop for coffee or lunch at a waterside café.
From Giethoorn it's only a ten-minute drive to Blokzijl, once a thriving harbor town on the Zuiderzee. Its 17th-century center — the old lock, the sheltered harbor basin, the merchant houses — is beautifully preserved, and you'll mostly share the streets with locals. It's the kind of place most visitors to Holland never hear about, and one of my favorite stops to show.
As a professional guide living in the Netherlands since 1989, I'll share the history and daily life behind these landscapes, and adjust the route and pace entirely to your interests.
Groups of up to 4 guests travel in my comfortable SUV. Pickup, drop-off, transportation, and parking are all included.
I look forward to showing you one of the most beautiful corners of the Netherlands.
