TAXI FROM AMSTERDAM TO GIETHOORN

Gliding along little canals past old but charming farmhouses with thatched roofs is so serene, so unique, and has such basic beauty that it almost seems real.

You can take another little canal’s “side street” and float beneath a wooden bridge, where an old person might be passing by to visit a neighbor. No, this is not Amsterdam or Venice. It is the Dutch village of Giethoorn.

It’s too calm, silent, and far away. The term “Dutch Venice” may create the wrong impression of size, throng, and commercialism because it is so serene.

The quacking of a duck or other animal noises are typically the loudest sounds you may hear here in Giethoorn, a village on a body of water in the Netherlands.

You will have a wonderful day on the water in the village of Giethoorn and the National Park Weerribben Wieden with our private cab tour Gondola in Giethoorn.
