Old Giethoorn | Boat rental and authentic Giethoorn experience
Old Giethoorn | Experience Giethoorn together with local entrepreneurs
Giethoorn is world famous for its canals, thatched-roof farmhouses and unique atmosphere. Visitors who want to experience the authentic character of the village will especially discover it in Giethoorn North and Giethoorn Middle. Here several local businesses work together within the initiative Old Giethoorn.
Boothuren Giethoorn – Recreatiebedrijf Geythorn is also part of this collaboration. Together with other boat rental companies, restaurants, hotels and recreational businesses we want to offer visitors a complete and relaxing day in Giethoorn.
