“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. Mooi en boeiend verhalen over verschillende aspecten van de stad. Voor niet Nederlandse mensen kan het wat saai overkomen. 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.”

And, she was very flexible as well, giving us the choice of where we wanted to spend our time during the tour (such as in the old church, visiting museums or shops, or taking longer walks through the streets).”

“The CuliWalk Haarlem was really nice and a lovely way to get to know Haarlem better. It was a nice day and something really different. Unfortunately there was a problem with our audio guide. We are from Germany and booked a German audio tour only but the tour was in English and Dutch only. Two of us can’t speak English very well so it was a little bit difficult for them to understand. Another problem was that the English audio suddenly switched to Dutch for a few times. When we called the given number for support there was no one to talk to and nobody answered the phone.”
