During your visit, enjoy a 1-hour canal boat tour with a live guide, gliding through the narrow waterways and under charming bridges while admiring the beautiful countryside. After the boat ride, you will have time to explore the village, stroll along the canals, and enjoy a meal at one of the cozy waterfront restaurants.
