I’ve taken this tour twice to show friends and family around. I live in the Historic Haven district of Hoorn. It is well worth the price. You get free drinks during the hour tour, you can pick red or white wine, soda, water. I thought it’s a good deal. The views from the water are fantastic. And much closer view of a replica of the Halve Man ship that sailed here from New York at the turn of 19th century.

Dear Ice Queen, Thank you for your nice recommendation. It might happen that the tour is (mainly) in Dutch when most of our guests are Dutch. As we have 25 skippers we can offer tours in German, Englisch, French, Spanish and Italian on request. As we have more boats we can also divide the group and guide one in German (for example) and one in English. Glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciate our concept. Best, Bram Nijenhuis Watertaxi Hoorn

See the town and wider afield by boat, with drincks available at a small cost. We visited the Oranje Buiten and hit a thunder storm leaving us stranded at the bar ...no complaints! Very enjoyable.
