Despite the wet cool weather, had a great tour. Appreciated the depth of Cor’s local knowledge of Haarlem and Holland. Instructions to find the tour in busy square were easy to use (local market is held in the square on Saturday). Highly recommend.

Guide never arrived. Waited 20 min and am certain I was at the specified start point. A refund would be appreciated

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Our Free Walking Tour Haarlem did take place as planned that day, so it seems there may have been some confusion at the meeting point. Our guides are always there at the specified location before the start time, and the tour went ahead as scheduled.
We’d really like to find out what went wrong and make things right for you. Please get in touch with us so we can look into it together and see how this mix-up happened.
Kind regards,
Tim
