Great finale to a super trip - Was in Amsterdam for a short break. Went here on the penultimate day. We got lucky, the weather was clear when we were there. The place is out of a story book. The houses really look to be from a movie set. Our driver and tour guide was Danny. He was unbelievable. Vehicle came well on time and it was nice and clean. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained on the drive to and back. The boat ride was amazing. The best one hour we spent here. We also walked around the village and took in the beauty. This is a must do and this team is highly recommended. Reliable, knowledgable and extremely polite.

Danny and his father Sam gave us a wonderful experience and knowledge about the area and Amsterdam itself. We thoroughly enjoyed the side trip out into a beautiful area

Giethoorn - A Unique Trip - Our Gierthoorn trip was a visit par excellence. Thanks to the exceptional services provided by tour guide Sam. He not only provided us with necessary information but also ensured that we get our lunch at a good place. We were given free time to venture out in the midst of nature on our own. Very meticulous planning indeed by our tour guide !

Canal Tour with Erwin - * Exceeded all expectations! *Outstanding and professional tour guide. We felt we had won the lottery with Erwin. *Most unique and beautiful experience gliding along the canals. *From pick up Erwin engaged with us and answered any questions with the knowledge of a local, which he is. The 1hr journey felt like 15mins and his car was spotless and very comfortable. He treated us like royalty. *Arriving before the crowds is important as the canals get congested with tourists hiring little boats. *The larger canal boat operators have right of way along the canals and give a great commentary of the history of the town. * Highly recommend this tour and if you are fortunate to have Erwin as your guide, you will have a fun day!
