A great experience! - During our bike tour yesterday in Haarlem we had a great experience that far exceeded our expectations. Our Guide was not only extremely friendly and knowledgeable, but also had an in-depth knowledge of the city and its history. What really made this tour special, however, was that, in addition to the famous Things to do, we also discovered some hidden gems that we would have definitely missed otherwise.
From quaint streets to hidden courtyards and unknown works of art, each stop on the route brought something new and unexpected. Our Guide shared stories and anecdotes that brought Haarlem's history to life, making for a rich and engaging experience. The route was well laid out and perfectly balanced between culture, nature and relaxation.
In short, this bike tour is an absolute must for anyone who wants to discover Haarlem in a unique and thorough way. A perfect mix of familiar highlights and hidden treasures, led by a top guide!

History and architecture of Haarlem by bike with friendly guide. - Also everyone else in the group was Dutch, our guide Arnauld made sure to translate everything in English for the two of us. He was friendly and knowledgeable about Haarlem‘s history and took us around on a pleasant and informative tour.

Great Experience! - My wife and I rented bicycles for the afternoon and rode out to the shore (Bloemendaal an Zee). It was our first time visiting the Netherlands, so we we greatly appreciated the kindness of the staff at Bike Tours Haarlem, providing us with excellent directions and great bikes. We enjoyed a delightful afternoon.

Great Intro to Haarlem - Great way to get to know Haarlem. Only 2 of us on tour as very early in season. Guide was great. Loads of local knowledge. Advertised as 90 mins but we got 2 hours. Goid value. Bikes in good condition.

Great History Tour of Haarlem by Bike - Our tour was about 2 1/2 hours long and our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We were able to see several things along the way and learned a lot about the Haarlem area.

Enjoyable - The guide was very friendly and the bikes were ideal.
Information was good, but too much time spent on certain subjects like the prison building and the historical courtyards, nothing mentioned about facts like Frank's Hals museum.

Bike tours Haarlem - relaxed, friendly, easy-paced; adequate stops for information. The main difficulty was locating the place - inside a home furnishings shop! Thanks to Reuben for a real insight

Bike tour canceled a few hours before the start! - Last weekend we took a city trip with friends, this year to Haarlem. As always, we book a bike tour through the city and we almost always do this through Baja Bikes. This has always been well arranged and has never been disappointing, both at home and abroad.
We would have the tour on Saturday morning at 10am. On Friday afternoon we received a call from Bike Tours Haarlem and were informed via a voicemail message that the tour could not take place on Saturday morning! They had no guide and forgot to follow through with the cancellation and notify Baja Bikes, and thus us, a few weeks ago.
I tried to contact Bike Tours Haarlem by telephone. I called 12 times, went through all possible extension menus and finally left a voicemail. An hour later I received a call back and was answered by a different young man than the one who left the voicemail. Perhaps it would have been better for them to consult together first, because this person told a different story than his colleague. It was almost laughable! 2 Different stories, 2 different excuses!
In any case, on Friday afternoon around 5:30 PM our tour for the following morning was canceled and we had to figure it out.
Fortunately, we still enjoyed ourselves on Saturday morning, but would have preferred a guided city tour to introduce us to the fun and interesting things of Haarlem.
I would like to note that the 'working method' of Bike Tours Haarlem is separate from Baja Bikes! We have already booked many tours through Baja Bikes and they usually organize them themselves. Now they would have Bike Tours Haarlem do this and that was not a success for us in any case.
So not a positive experience for us with Bike Tours Haarlem!
