Hi, i was there on 30/Nov last month, for me, it is better to visit in winter as it has less tourist - less crowd, I enjoyed the serenity and beauty of the place. It depends on what you prefer either less crowd or crowded.

I booked this tour from Canada. Pickup was from central Amsterdam station. It takes roughly 1.5 hours to reach by bus with a 30 min pit stop. Once we arrived, Half the bus took the cruise and the other half stayed back to eat and roam around. After the cruise ended, the other half took the cruise. The remainder of the time we walked around ate, which took a while as it was high tourist season. There is a small museum you should visit and the rest of the time was free to roam and check out the beautiful thatched roof houses. There is also some souvenir shops too. I hope you visit this place. It’s really a cute quaint town and worth the visit. Enjoy!!

Yes it is available everyday. You return by 7 pm.

The meeting place was at Amsterdam’s Central Station. Amsterdam is a walking city, a city of boat rides in the canals, and there are plenty electric buses which share the roads with cars, regular buses, and bikes. We walked an easy mile to the station. The teip was about 8 hours. We enjoyed walking around Gietroon, an idyllic town of canals and bridges like Venice but with Dutch flavor.

Tours start from Amsterdam Centraal, Tours & Tickets Departure Point (1012 AA). It's easy to locate and near one of the entry exit points

You meet at their tour office and then walk as a group a couple of blocks to where the bus picks you up.

Hi, Yes you can book that morning, but you risk not having availability. Geithoorn is like a story book village. The homes on the small canal have thatched roofs. Most people in town have been there for generations. You will take a boat tour and the guide will explain the houses, shops and point out the restaurants. Then you will have a chance to walk the town (basically one road along side the canal to take pictures. We ate at one restaurant and the food was really good. On the bus drive our guide Pieter was fantastic, entusiastic and loves his country - eager to share his knowledge with you. Very informative - saw a lot of the Netherlands and of course the dams. We were there during tulip season which was a plus, but yest I recommend it.
