– Bart B., Tripadvisor
Great views

Took the tour on a pleasant June day, cooling breezes wafting through the open windows. Good automated commentary of the passing highlights of Haarlem. Very helpful and personable young Captain called Peter who took us faultlessly round the waters. Pleasant and informative way to spend 50 minutes.
