Haarlem Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Interesting, well presented, informative tour particularly for those interested in WW11. Would highly recommend. Pity the Museum was closed on tour days & not included. Easy access from Amsterdam central by public transport.

We had an amazing time. We had requested a couple special items to be on board and they were so accommodating of our request. Our guide William was also great. We had an amazing time. Thank you!

This walking tour was fantastic. Hubert had so much information and details about the Ten Booms, about Haarlem, and about other resistance fighters. Would highly recommend this tour. If you want to go into the Ten Boom house, book that separately and for another time, before or after this walking tour. We loved Haarlem’s laid back, less busy feel.

Really nice way to see Haarlem from the water and learn some of its history.

Although the boat was sparsely occupied, and the explanation in Dutch and German was necessary, there was enough time for a personal addition from the Amsterdam helmsman. Sometimes also necessary because the text was significantly too early or too late at the illuminated monument/view/canal. He did that in a nice way and we tried to express that with a small tip. Our next outing will be in Zwolle. Do you also have tours there?

Dennis was an engaging and fun guide who showed us many of the foodie spots that only locals would know, where we indulged in delicious Dutch specialties (and even some delicious Indonesian snacks), and many interesting sights along the way. Our tour through Haarlem was a real treat!

This tour was the highlight of our Netherlands trip! Seeing the windmills, cheese-making, and clog-crafting was fantastic.Our tour guide TJ was spectacular—full of energy and knowledge that kept everyone engaged.It is incredibly family-friendly. Our school-age kids were completely captivated by the interactive demos. Perfect blend of education and fun!

Our tour with Dan was great! We went to several places including a chocolate shop, cheese shop, a brewery and a fish stand among a few others. Dan also provided a great history of the city as we walked from place to place. It allowed us to get the most of our short time in Haarlem. Would definitely recommend!

It was a lot of fun. Willem was a great boat driver and tour guide. He was fun and informative. And really knew the history of Haarlam.

Billie was a great tour guide taking us to places we never would find ourselves and explaining some of the rich history found in Haarlem

Wonderful guide, fun itinerary!! Nice vehicle - all around wonderful experience! Thank you to Sven for a fantastic day!! We saw windmills, and their inner working mechanisms. We saw a demonstration of how they used to make wooden shoes and how they do now. There was a fun tour of the famous Henri Willing cheese farm! And time on our own in Vollendam, a charming lakeside village. Great day!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of the Holland countryside and windmills. Our guide, Joyce was sweet, knowledgeable and versatile. She didn’t take shortcuts and adjusted to our preferences and activity level. She even took extra time to share some great ice cream stops!! We truly enjoyed her kind disposition and experience in her field. We would highly recommend this tour operator and in particular Joyce. They are very quick to respond and follow thru on all commitments. Super professional and fun experience!

Gerard does not let the truth get in the way of a good story and was a skilled mate.

Amazing experience! Robin was incredibly knowledgeable about Amsterdam and answered all of our questions with ease. He was a fantastic communicator, friendly, and an excellent host who made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend him and will definitely be recommending him to our friends.

Great tour. Hubert was fantastic - friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Lovely tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and we saw points that would have otherwise missed.
