Latest reviews from our guests

    We had a great day touring Haarlem with Craig. He was a great guide. Really like that the tour included going from and returning to Amsterdam by train. Craig also covered our lunch including my lovely glass of wine. On the way there Craig asked us what we were most interested in seeing and made sure we were satisfied. My husband decided while there that he wanted to spend some significant time in the cathedral and we all explored it together. The tour was very personal and the pace adjusted to our specific preferences. It was informative, entertaining and well worth the cost of a private tour.

    We really enjoyed our day in Haarlem with our excellent and personable guide, Craig. The tour included the train to Haarlem and back with Craig accompanying us. Lunch was also included and I enjoyed a lovely glass of wine. On our way to Haarlem Craig asked what we were most interested in seeing while there and he made sure that was accomplished. The tour was very much directed at a pace comfortable to us and flexible enough to include significant time in the cathedral when my husband determined he wanted to explore the interior a bit. We highly recommend this private tour and can attest to it being well worth the cost.
