Netherlands · GRONINGEN & THE NORTH
6 reviewed
Everything here has been through the same read: what happens on the day, how long it really lasts, what it costs and who it is wasted on. The 6 groningen & the north tours that came out of it are below.
Giethoorn canals and Zaanse Schans cheese, clogs and diamonds in a small-group day tour with Amsterdam hotel pickup.
“Renier is an excellent tour guide. The guide in the Geithoorn boat ride needs to speak a little bit clearly when translating the information into English.”
A one-hour Groningen canal cruise with audio and text guide, big tower views, and onboard snacks and drinks from Rondvaartbedrijf Kool.
“Interesting ride across the canals, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The atmosphere was lovely, the beverage options were great and it is friendly for all ages.”
Climb Groningen’s 97 m Martinitower for big-city views, a tiny history cinema, and bell-ringing, all for about $7.
“It was a great experience to climb the tower. Definitely recommended, allow two hours to have enough time to spend on every level and at the top behind the face of the clock! L”
Sip drinks on Groningen’s first floating terrace boat, with an open roof when weather is good, cozy seating, and quick shelter in rain.
“Schönes Schiff mit super Personal. Sehr lieb und zuvorkommend. Um diese Zeit trotz Heitstrahler, an Bord etwas kalt. Daher etwas mehr anziehen.”
A 90-minute private walk through Leeuwarden with a lively English guide, key landmarks, free museum stops, and WWII stories.
“Very informative and gave us a wonderful view of Leeuwarden. Our guide, was excellent. I loved the royal connection explanation. The slight drizzle was refreshing.”
See Groningen from an open boat for 1 hour, with English narration and unlimited drinks included, passing the Martinitoren and canal landmarks.
“Captain Paulina was great fun and very knowledgeable. Loads of drinks on the boat included.”
