We made the city tour through Haarlem. (Duration ±50 minutes). It was a nice trip and you will see Haarlem from a completely different side with the boat. It was also fun to make this cruise with a sloop. Our skipper was a spontaneous young guy with a nice chat. He liked it when you asked questions and he was always able to answer the question.

Because we were in the first group of that day, we almost had a private trip (total 4 people), wonderful! Add to that the beautiful weather and the peace and quiet on the water (it was early, that's why) and you understand that it really was a 'zen moment'. In addition to the information via the wristband, the guide also gave all kinds of information and answered our questions. What a beautiful city Haarlem is with a long, interesting history. This boat trip is highly recommended, especially if you are unknown in the city like us.
