About This Tour
Discover Haarlem on a private walking tour through one of the most elegant historic cities in the Netherlands. Often described as Amsterdam’s refined neighbor, Haarlem was once just as wealthy and powerful, and its past is still visible today. With your own knowledgeable local guide, you stroll through cobbled streets, grand market squares, and along tranquil canals. During this guided tour, your guide shares stories of the innovators, merchants, artists that shaped Haarlem during the Dutch Golden Age. You learn about Haarlem as the birthplace of Frans Hals and the home of the oldest museum in the Netherlands. The private tour of Haarlem takes place entirely on foot in the compact historic center and normally lasts about 1.5 hours. Because this is a private walking tour, the pace and focus are flexible and can be adapted to your interests. This guided walking tour is ideal for travelers who want insight, atmosphere, and stories rather than a standard checklist of sights.
