Amsterdam to Giethoorn travel options

Posted by (Minneapolis) on

My husband and I will be in Amsterdam Sept. 19- 23. We were there last in 2018. We want to do a day trip to Giethoorn on Tuesday, Sept. 22 (if weather is good).
I'm wondering about the "bus transfer from Amsterdam to Giethoorn" offering from www.giethoorn.com. Has anyone done this, and what has your experience been? The offerings on the website specifically call this the "bus transfer from Amsterdam" .
It sounds like a solid and easy plan to get there and back without extra train/bus transfers, etc. and includes a guided canal boat tour and a fair amount of free time to explore the village and have lunch, etc. Seems very reasonably priced....

Would welcome input on this particular tour, or other suggestions as well!

We took a different bus tour to Giethorn that was more than a “Transfer”. It was the best way for us to see Giethorn as a DIY trip via train and bus was just too much planning for us. Haven’t heard of this company. Ours left from a hotel across and to the left of the train station.

We liked it a lot and it saved us a lot of time getting there and planning to get there.
We walked over the very short distance from our hotel at the Doubletree to the Prins Hendrkkade 59, IFO the NH Collection Baribizon Palace Hotel..

The trip included a canal ride in Giethoorn, great commentary from the guide and time to walk around Giethoorn.
