Private chauffeur in Giethoorn
A road-free village nicknamed the “Venice of the North”, Giethoorn threads along peaceful canals, among thatched cottages and wooden bridges, in the heart of the Weerribben-Wieden national park. Your private chauffeur in Giethoorn drives you from Amsterdam or Schiphol to the edge of the village, where the visit continues by electric boat: fixed-price transfers, full-day hire. Mercedes sedans and vans, English-speaking chauffeurs on request.
Giethoorn is best discovered on an excursion from Amsterdam. A 1h30 drive away, this postcard village offers a timeless interlude, often combined with the fishing villages of the former Zuiderzee. With a full-day hire, your chauffeur waits during your boat ride and brings you back in the late afternoon, without the constraint of regional trains.
