The tour was overpriced. It included lunch and train fare from Amsterdam but we paid extra to enter the museum and the church. While it wasn’t a lot, I thought those should have been included given the overall cost of tour.

We were on the last day of our 2 week vacation. We were getting a little weary at the end. Anna met us at our hotel & showed us how to take the train from Amsterdam Central to Haarlem. Something we weren't up for on our own. She is very personable & easy to be with. Using her "rain" app, she helped us dodge some heavier rainfall by planning to be inside during that time. She listened to our requests & made it fun. She was knowledgeable about the sights she took us to.We would not have been aware of any of this without her expertise. We're happy we took this private tour.

What you’ll do

Just a 15-minute train ride outside of Amsterdam is the charming, historic city of Haarlem. Although quaint, don’t underestimate the punch this picturesque paradise can pack!

Join one of our hosts on a personalized experience of the city, exploring the cobbled stone streets and leafy courtyards, marveling at the gothic-style churches, Molen de Adriaan (a traditional windmill - climb it!)) and tranquil canals.

We can’t stress the postcard beauty of Haarlem enough. With a fairytale backdrop for your day’s activities, enjoy your host's company as you see the city together. You can visit the Grote Kerk or Grote Markt and get an authentic taste of the day-to-day life of its people.

Haarlem’s architecture is grand, but its museums are even grander. Perhaps go to the Frans Hals Museum, or stop by at a traditional brewery for some craft beer, or both! No rule against that.
