“This trip was incredible and my guide, Veronica was outstanding! She was super sweet and knowledgeable. A couple days ahead, I got a notice that the trip was going to leave an hour earlier to also go to Zaanse Schans - both of these places are not to be missed while in Amsterdam/Netherlands. I had already booked a trip there for another day but was able to cancel and got two for one on this trip! Nothing felt rushed. We had plenty of free time in both places and additionally had a specific stop for lunch, so eating didn’t come from our free time in either town. The boat ride…”

“Veronica was so amazing from the start! Such an amazing tour guide filled with information, humor, and generosity! She guided our tour for 7 of our family members, and was very punctual. We wouldn’t have enjoyed the tour without her! Giethoorn was so beautiful and a must see when in Amsterdam!! There’s so much more to see than the city, it’s the perfect little town with cottage core homes, peaceful canals for a boat ride, and even bikes to rent during our free time. Highly recommend!”
Review of Cherry Tours’ Giethoorn day trip from Amsterdam, with small electric boat ride, village walks, transport details, costs, and practical tips.
“First trip to Giethoorn and Cherry and her team with Cherry Tours were great guides. The bus was very comfortable. The drive was relaxed. We did make a stop at Zaanse Schans first to see the historic windmills before going to Giethoorn. It was a bit rainy and chilly which slightly dampened our enjoyment but this is typical weather so we blended in with everyone. The town is beautiful and picturesque. I imagine it becomes even more beautiful in later spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom. We visited the Giethoorn Museum which provided a beautiful history of the people and town. The ride back was restful. Cherry…”
