What makes this tour so interesting is how Alkmaar’s medieval core turns into an easy small-group experience, with canals and cobblestones packed into just two hours.

I love that you see major landmarks like the area around Grote Sint Laurenskerk, and you also get the bigger story behind them, including how Alkmaar’s townspeople resisted Spanish forces in 1573.

The main thing to consider is simple: you should be able to walk continuously for about 3 to 4 km, since this is not a short, stop-and-start stroll.
