A lovely way to spend some time. - Had a lovely time with my daughter on our 50 minute cruise. Haarlem is so beautiful and it was a great way to see so many different sides of the city, as well as hear different stories from the driver/guide. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Window load, sliding boat... - Thanks to the captain (young skipper) this short boat trip was pleasant and surprising. He himself explained special places and interesting facts.

Nice cruise in Haarlem in the early morning - Nice trip on the canals of haarlem. Lots of explanation. Besides the tape many stories of the skipper with humor. You get to see and hear a lot from / about Haarlem and sail exactly a round around the city. It was early in the morning and cold. But the stove was on so was fine.

Nice but can be better - The tour is a fun activity but I've had more fun. There's an automatic tape on it that tells you interesting things but doesn't always understand you through the bow thruster. We do something like this more often and our experience is that if someone tells us this is more fun. I had already read that it is not 50 minutes, we were also back in 42 minutes including docking and mooring.
