Brilliant Boat Trip - Me and my friend had a great time on a lovely summer's day in Haarlem. We had bought beers in the cafe where you buy your tickets for this tour. The nice captain of the boat Flo was fine with me and my friend taking our beers with us on the tour. Flo was a great tour guide, informative and I liked the funny alligator in the water part.

Fun and interesting boat tour - Great trip! The captain gave lots of information, told us about the history of Haarlem, added some jokes while we got to enjoy the scenery. The admin team at this company is great too. Earlier we had to cancel due to a scooter accident, the ladies were very friendly and understanding. Re booked us on a trip weeks later. Your service is much appreciated!

Haarlem Mill to Mill cruise. - We had a great trip with smitje canal cruise. We decided to do the longer Mill to Mill tour. We booked ahead and were warmly greeted on arrival. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable and very entertaining. We also had beers and snack along the way. I would definitely recommend this trip as an alternative to Amsterdam.

A lovely way to see Haarlem - This was a very pleasant way to relax and see the sights from the Haarlem canal. We sat outside to enjoy the breeze on a sunny day, and so couldn’t hear the commentary very well, but it didn’t detract from the trip.

Nice to be on the canals. - Unpleasant check in staff, very busy location. Basic recorded information. Pleasant time on water. Best captain of all canal cruises. Loved Haarlem overall. Nice to see windmills.

Fun cruise - Great cruise. But, the captain, and narrator for the cruise had a very heavy accent and it was difficult to understand his english.

Wrong navigation but it was well executed - We booked for a Mill till Mill sailing, but in retrospect we got the cruise Haarlem. This without any prior information. The two stars were earned by the inspired skipper which made it an interesting trip.
