“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!”
