Known as the Venice of the Netherlands, the picture-perfect canal village of Giethoorn is a must for photographers. But, with the nearest train station around 5 miles (8 kilometers) away, it’s time-consuming to reach independently. This small-group trip (limited to only nine other travelers) gets you there in style, by comfortable Mercedes minivan, direct from your door. Your guide will arrange a boat ride and show you the highlights but leave you free time too.
