Boating in Haarlem - A fun trip in a large boat to discover the back of Haarlem. Thanks to the expert commentary on board, we received many tips for our walk through the city. Nice captain!

Outing - We couldn't find the canal boat. They picked us up at the mill. This is of course 1st class service. Thank you for that. Boat trip was super fun and we actually got to see a lot of things.

Beautiful and relaxing boat trip - In August 2024 when visiting the beautiful old city of Haarlem we did a 50 minutes boat trip with Smidtje. It was a great experience for 16 euro per person, and gives the visitor beautiful views from the river to the old houses and buildings. It also allows you to enjoy the view of the city of Haarlem without getting tired. A very good recommendation to discover Haarlem on the river.

Disappointment - I was with 12 elderly people 70+ to 93. Boarding I was told 4 steps. But that was in the boat. Also 1 high step on frame and another on the decking edge. In the boat there are no handles to hold on the boarding at the 4 steps down and up. Only on the outside/framework of the boat itself. Pretty anxious. We didn't get a welcome chat from the captain. There was immediately a band turned on where no welcome was given. The boat went fast so you were already past the buildings it was about. We were back with 45 min.Was very unfortunate. I asked the person at the ticket office if the area was paid parking. Didn't know this one. The parking pole was nml broken and finally by looking at my parking app it turned out that it was wrl paid parking.

Fine cruise - Nice view, friendly and funny skipper. Not a lot of historical info. Seats a little too tight. A couple with parents and 2 children in front of us who made so much noise that nothing could be understood.
