Sign up for a magical day tour of the scenic Giethoorn in a private minivan straight from Amsterdam. Glide gently down the beautiful canals in an electric boat, admiring the traditional thatched-roof farmhouses lining the waterway.

Uncover the unique way of life in the spellbinding village of Giethoorn, famously devoid of any main roads in its center. It's a village renowned for its crisscrossing canals and the absolute absence of roads.

The village, home to a mere 2,700 residents, offers an unforgettable highlight - a 1-hour guided boat trip on a petite electric boat. Avail of the opportunity to steer this private vessel, reserved exclusively for the group. Revel in the idyllic sights from a unique perspective as the boat lazily meanders through the canals.

While water is the primary mode of transport in this village, a cycling path also exists. Following the boat tour, go on a leisurely exploration of this beautifully preserved village, either by bike or on foot.
