Top cruise! - Great! Guide and skipper were sister and brother. Excellent service, because we had missed the boat, we could still join at noon. Lovely Haarlem family from the water.

A great way to see the city. - Lovely way to be introduced to Haarlam. The two young guides (Niels & Frederica) were very knowledgeable and also told us lots about growing up in the Netherlands. Highly recommend this trip.

Insightful! - It was great to get an insight from our young crew. They added humour and extra info that wasn’t part of their script. Thank you Frederique & co

Boating, swimming and then pizza! - What a relief on the water in the electric Showpony from LuxeSloops. Comfortable and easy sailed to the Molenplas and took a dip. We sat wonderfully spacious on the nice sofas and the swimming ladder was ideal to get everyone back on board. Then opposite the harbor had a pizza, really super.

Fun Canal Cruise - Fun excursion with a very knowledgeable captain/guide. Comfortable boat and a great way to see a lot of Haarlem. Great restaurant and windmill at the starting point and the windmill is also a great tour.

Nice Canal Cruise - Very enjoyable canal cruise around the old city of Haarlem. Well organized and a very knowledgeable guide/captain. Embarkation is next to a nice restaurant and a working windmill that is inexpensive to tour.

Disappointing - Canal tour was cancelled with less than 2 hours notice. I was very disappointed as this was to serve as my orientation to Haarlem
