Cruise Haarlem’s canals aboard a covered 1954 sloop with local stories, Dutch snacks, cheese, and unlimited drinks for 75 minutes.
“THIS is how you want to cruise a canal - in style, with wine glass or beer in hand, and a low table with food to nibble on, like grapes, cheese and crackers, olives, and tasty crisps. I enjoyed this Haarlem Sightseeing Boat Tour better than the boat tours in Amsterdam and Brugge, since this one doesn’t pack you in like sardines.

“Leuk maar absoluut niet spectacular. De tour was niet uitgebreid zoals ik had verwacht van twee uren. De staadspoort, de mooie brug over de spaarne, de windmolen, de brouwerij Jopen en de oude gevangenis , en nog veel punten van belang waren niet aan de orde gekomen. Tegelijkertijd.

Het zou fijn zijn als de gids was duidelijker en harder had gesproken in de rumoerige omgeving. Het was vaak moeilijk om hem te verstaan.”
