Excellent tour - Steven was an excellent guide. His thorough knowledge on Netherlands, Giethoorn, etc. He has a wonderful sense of humour. He has us laughing many times. We were in awe of the beauty of Giethoorn. Enjoyed traditional Dutch treats. Beautiful country scenery. I would recommend this tour. While in Giethoorn, children from a family he had guided the day before ran up to Steven to say hi. This speaks volumes about him. How he interacts with his customers not just his knowledge. If Steven was the guide, We would take the tour!

Very enjoyable tours - Steven Attersol was our guide for 2 days. This Giethoorm and North of the Netherlands tour, and the Windmills and fishing village in another day. Steven is very knowledgeable in the history of the Netherlands. He gave us a glimpse of how people used to live, then and now. We enjoyed listening to all the stories, of what’s happening, etc he told us. He took care to change the timing to avoid the rain as much as possible while we had the open boat ride. He also took us to off the beaten path places to walk around, to have lunch, etc. It was very enjoyable. My sister wanted to buy some cheese for her family. Steven took us to a place with very good cheese. My sister did not eat cheese much before but she said the cheese was very good after she went home. Thank you Steven for the 2 wonderful, well informed tours. Wishing you and your family all the best. Eleanor and Alice

Must do Geithoorn canal tour! - This is a must do excursion. The village and canal tour was amazing. Glad we had a local private guide, it made the world of difference. Steve was amazing and we enjoyed chatting with him and getting know the local history and current events! You can't go wrong doing this tour!

Wonderful day in Giethoorn and north Netherlands. - My wife and I took the Giethoorn, Private Boat Tour & Exploring the North Netherlands By Private Day Tours Amsterdam tour. Steve is personable, friendly and full of knowledge about Netherlands history, culture and the sites visited. After driving us to this beautiful and unique village, he became our small boat captain for a tour of the canals. The timely pickup and drop off at our hotel plus his readiness to accommodate our interests and desires was much appreciated. He is an excellent driver and his vehicle is comfortable. Overall an outstanding tour. Well worth the price.

Fantastic day out, awesome guide - We had an excellent trip with Steven. He was extremely informative with an extensive knowledge of Amsterdam and its history. . Giethoorn was incredibly picturesque. The walking tour of the small township of Hasselt was extremely enjoyable. Being a private tour, Steven was able to answer all our questions and we were able to move at a pace that worked well for our group. I would highly recommend Steven and his tour. Thank you Steven!
