Day trip to Haarlem from Amsterdam

Often thought of as the little sister of Amsterdam, Haarlem has much to offer travelers who want to escape the ‘city’ for a smaller, quainter place with a rich history.

Haarlem dates back to pre-medieval times. With its ancient buildings, cobbled streets, and winding waterways, it’s one of the most photogenic places in the country. Our excellent guides will make sure that you enjoy that stroll back in time.

Top sights in Haarlem include the Grote Markt, the St. Bavo church, the Frans Hals museum and Teylers museum, old city gates, and much more!

This private tour is a 2-hour walking tour of the city and you can add an hour or more time to visit inside one or both of the museums if you wish.

A big thanks to Tom who gave us a wonderful day in the Netherland countryside, customized a 9-hour tour for two couples that included Haarlem, Zaanse Schans, Edam and Marken. Was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Also, a shout out to Ron…

Also, a shout out to Ron, the guide Tom hired for our visit to Haarlem, who's knowledge of the city and the alms gave us a look of the city I don't believe all guides could offer. Also was helpful in finding us a canal ride that fit our expectations to finish a memorable day. Thank you Tom. Darrell - United States - Tripadvisor
