Great. Great. - Hoorn is a beautiful port city. You have beautiful monuments. In May and June there are free walking tours on Fridays beginning of the evening of Association Oud Hoorn. Hoorn is highly recommended for a wonderful weekend away.

Terrific little trip - Terrific little trip round the canals of Hoorn. Charming boat captain who ( just for us) spoke in English describing the fascinating history of Hoorn. Trip takes about an hour and we booked ahead. Boat was full so probably best to do this. Lovely way to see the town and if you are staying a few days good to go early in your stay as you will enjoy Hoorn much more after this .

Lovely boat tour in Hoorn. - Wonderful tour. Hoorn is a beautiful place. The boat captain, Marcel, was great and very knowledgeable. The young lady who runs the office if super friendly and very efficient. Unlike the downtown Amsterdam tours, this tour is great value for money. On a nice day, this is a little taste of heaven. After the tour, do go and try the burgers at Cafe 't Schippershuis.

Recommended - A truly worthwhile 1-hour trip through the canals and waterways of Hoorn. The boatman gave explanations about Hoorn and there were also free cold drinks.

A boat trip with a tough captain in a boat! - That was fun today. Horn is so beautiful and we have walked in the harbor and through the city many times but we have never been on the water. And today we took a boat trip with a tough captain. Very nice with a cup of coffee we see everything pass us by. Also very much enjoyed the necessary explanation it was really worth it!

Nice idea to sail through the canals - What a good idea to take a tour of about 1 hour through the canals of Hoorn. Due to the rain we asked if it could be a little later as it would be dry. That was no problem and they had already thought of it themselves. The skipper of the electric boat was a super friendly man who was good at talking. It was busy in the center because of the fair, but that didn't spoil the fun. Yes, we enjoyed it and it was definitely worth seeing Hoorn in a different way!
