Alkmaar is easy to admire from a café table, but its story makes more sense on foot. This two-hour city walk takes you through a selection of central highlights and gives special attention to a church whose history and design make it an important monument.

I like the six-person limit, which keeps the outing personal, and I like the practical touch of an English-speaking Canadian guide such as Jennifer, also called Jen. She has offered visitors extra tips for Alkmaar and other Dutch cities, along with small thoughtful touches such as postcards. The main consideration is the walking: you need to cover 3 to 4 kilometers continuously, often outdoors in changing Dutch weather.
