2.City Highlights Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 32 reviews · 2 hours · from $25Best value

Explore Haarlem on a two-hour walking tour covering Grote Markt, the Spaarne, hofjes, windmills, beer history, and local stories.

“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.”
