Giethroon was wonderful and our family had a great time. weather was cloudy and gloomy but fairytale village and locaiton made our day. Finding the bus location was difficult since there was no sign boards and difficult for first time visitors. It was good holiday break and I definetly suggest this one.”

Amsterdam day trip to Zaanse Schans windmills, Dutch cheese and clogs, Afsluitdijk dike photos, and Giethoorn canals with a cruise.

“No rotation of seating in our Mercedes small bus meant that the people in the back row of seats got to hear less of what the guide was talking about with other travellers and bore the brunt of motion sickness. The places we visited were very interesting places, thank goodness it was the low tourist season. We expected we would see and learn more of the working and construction of the bikes and windmills. The guide was very pleasant. He was a very good driver.”
