Great tour of a beautiful city! - Tour was excellent! Was given so much information about Haarlem and saw side streets I hadn’t seen on my own. He went above and beyond on the information and tour. I would definitely recommend it to others visiting Haarlem.

Lovely walk through Haarlem - The group was small and our guide was really nice and relaxed. We learned quite a bit about the history of Haarlem. A very charming city with cobbled streets and gorgeous architecture and gardens.

Tour guide has potential but not there yet… - Our tour guide spoke very softly, so it was hard to hear him much of the time. On top of that he went on and on. He didn’t seem to know certain facts that you would expect a tour guide to know. We didn’t go inside the windmill or church, which would have made the tour better. Overall it was a disappointing experience and we would have been better off doing a self guided walking tour.
