Done this a few times now when family and friends come to visit. Everyone I've done it with has loved it, the tour guides are fun and insightful. The view of the 7 bridges is stunning from canal level.

Captain Paul and guide Mace were great! We had a smooth cruise and Mace answered all questions on top of informing us about many facts about Haarlem. His English was perfect! Great experience!
