5.00This was a great tour. He was prompt picking us up. It was nice driving to Giethoorn as we learned a lot about the Netherlands. Our guide got us there in the early morning so we would miss the crowds. The town is lovely and the boat ride through the canals was a lot of fun. We had lunch nearby and the dutch pancakes were delicious. We would recommend this company.
