• 5Hike to Glacier

  Strenuous walk to the glacier… but take your time, it’s worth it! Viator guide was very knowledgeable.

• 5Terrific little trip

  Terrific little trip round the canals of Hoorn. Charming boat captain who ( just for us) spoke in English describing the fascinating history of Hoorn. Trip takes about an hour and we booked ahead. Boat was full so probably best to do this. Lovely way to see the town and if you are staying a few days good to go early in your stay as you will enjoy Hoorn much more after this .

• 5Lovely boat tour in Hoorn.

  Wonderful tour. Hoorn is a beautiful place. The boat captain, Marcel, was great and very knowledgeable. The young lady who runs the office if super friendly and very efficient. Unlike the downtown Amsterdam tours, this tour is great value for money. On a nice day, this is a little taste of heaven. After the tour, do go and try the burgers at Cafe 't Schippershuis.

• 5Fun and fast way to get to know Hoorn

  This water taxi tour was one of the highlights of our visit to the Netherlands. Our guide shared information about the buildings and history. He even provided insights into why the buildings had big hooks (to lower the cheese), the underwater parking garage and the role Hoorn played in the 80 years war with Spain. Getting to go under some low bridges was fun, too. The pace was just slow enough to hear all the stories but also fast enough to not get bored. The tour included coffee, tea, wine and beer which was a nice touch. Being able to join the tour at any of its stops saved us some walking at the end of a long day. It was necessary to hail the taxi driver to let him know we wanted to join the tour. This tour was very good value for the cost.

About Hoorn

Hoorn, on the IJsselmeer north of Amsterdam, was a Golden Age trading port, and its harbour, gabled houses and steam tram recall that era.

Hoorn was a base of the Dutch East India Company, and its seventeenth-century wealth is plain in the streets around the harbour. The Roode Steen square holds the old weigh house and a statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen, the company's governor-general, who was born here. A squat harbour tower, the Hoofdtoren, guards the entrance to the basin. Cape Horn takes its name from the town, after the navigator Willem Schouten, born in Hoorn, first rounded it in 1616.
