Great canal cruise - Great canal cruise. I had reserved for a later time but the guide allowed me to switch to an earlier cruise without any issues. The boat was the perfect size. Enough room for everyone to spread out. It was not crowded compared to other canal cruises. I learned about Haarlem but also enjoyed the beautiful weather. Highly recommend this company.

This tour provided a... - This tour provided a great way to see the city of Haarlem from the water which was truly spectacular and the boat, being electric was quiet and glided smoothly along the water's surface. The benches are cushioned and comfortable and the captain warm and welcoming. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and sights of the city and shared his observations with us throughout the course of the ride. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone wishing for a fun and novel experience.

Nice cruise with good explanations about the old Haarlem! - It was a very nice and interesting cruise. The skipper, Pieter, was super friendly. We did a tour through the canals of Haarlem, where Pieter told us all about the old Haarlem. The unexpected lovely weather was a nice extra!

Guide be almost nothing - Took 50 min but guide gave almost no explanation. You had to pay for drinks, too. My wife didn't speak a word of Dutch and even if everyone in the boat said it could be done in English (if designated on our ticket) I had to translate it all myself...
