It's worth it! - Today there was my first trip to Haarlem and thanks to Manuel, my tour guide, it was really informative and enjoyable time during walking around city Center. He is really charismatic knowledgeable guide, who could make me interested in history of that city. His way of involving people into his speech is really good: he mixed historical facts, legends and jokes during the tour. And he showed us secret places with are hidden from tourist’s eyes. You could find them by yourself! And at a one such place we even got acquainted with a bid old tortoise and his owner: they are locals of that place. So we could feed it with cabbage and make a lot of cute videos.
I highly recommend this tour agency, if you are planning to visit Haarlem! Manuel will make your journey more remarkable and fruitful and guide you through mysteries of this ancient city. These emotions worth it!
