Experience an alternative side to Aalsmeer as you sail through the town's canals on an authentic electric barge. Sail past sights such as the De Zwarte Ruiter mill and the Het Oosterbad natural pool. Meet your guide and step on board the barge to begin your journey through the waters surrounding Aalsmeer and Schipol Airport. Travel back in time as you travel on the 'electric whisper boat', a traditional Giethoorn barge that has been modernized for sustainable travel through the Oosteinderplassen. Sail along the Haarlemmermeer and enjoy panoramic views of Schipol Airport. You may even get to see airplanes taking off and landing. Finish your tour in the nature reserve and sail past the De Zwarte Ruiter mill and the Het Oosterbad natural pool.

Your private guide will drive you directly to the picturesque village of Giethoorn ( 75min ). The centre of the village is car-free so the only way to get around is by boat or on foot. Your guide will transform himself into your captain and welcome you on board a typical 'punter', a small Dutch flat bottomed boat designed to sail in shallow waters for a private one hour tour through Giethoorn. After you're back on dry land you'll join your guide for a short walking tour giving you another perspective on this picture perfect little village. After leaving Giethoorn you'll drive through the countryside to Hasselt, a storybook village off the beaten path. In Hasselt you'll wander with your guide through the old town’s cobblestone streets, learn about its history and why it's named 'Little Amsterdam'.
