Your trip will continue to the enchanting village of Giethoorn in the north of the Netherlands for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Known as the "Venice of North," the village is notable for its many canals and complete lack of roads. You will explore the fairytale village, where less than 3,000 people live, on a 1-hour guided boat tour. Experience the scenery on a leisurely trip through the canals. Explore the preserved village on foot, and see how each farmhouse is built on a small man-made island. Wander the narrow footpaths to discover hundreds of bridges, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the village.

Fantastic tour with the best guide
This tour was fantastic! There was just one other person in addition to the 3 of us so it was a nice small group. The sites we went to Giethoorn and Keukenhof were both beautiful. Giethoorn is much more beautiful than Venice. We had plenty of time at both visits. Our guide Ace, was the best! He was so kind and patient. He even stopped at a tulip field along the way so we could take close up photos. When we told him we didn't want to drive the boat, he ended up doing it for us. Ace is an excellent boat driver. Also, he is the BEST photographer! The photos he took for me were the best ones from this trip. I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful but over priced.
Beautiful gardens and facilities at the tulip gardens. This was the last day the venue is oldie to the tulip season ending. Based on my experience with other National Gardens, this one was beautiful but sparsely populated with plants and flowers compared to others. The tour Giethoorn was pleasant and beautiful. Overall, I believe the cost of the trip was excessive for the experience. Two hous in between venues is excessive and should probably be two depart tours.

Great tour and tour guide
This was a great way to see both locations. Our guide, Archie, was wonderful and very informative on the drive to the sights. We spent approx 3 hours at Keukenhof and 2 hours in Giethorn. It was a great day!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 90 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam: Keukenhof Tulip Gardens and Giethoorn with Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
