Overview

Dive into the history of Leiden during this immersive, private tour through the historical city of the Pilgrim Father, master painter Rembrandt van Rijn and the oldest university of The Netherlands. Feel the Dutch Golden Age, and get to know the role of the remarkable city of Leiden in Dutch history. The city is not an open-air museum, it is also an attractive, young and vibrant place!

And do not forget, it is you that determines the pace of this private tour! And don't hesitate to ask your guide anything you want to know, about life in the Netherlands in general, or in Leiden in particular. Enjoy!

Great historical Leiden tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a blast during our tour of Leiden! The guide was friendly, patient and knew his stuff. Fascinating city and history.

Great educational walking experience in Leiden

Published on Aug, 2024

The Leiden tour was outstanding and Federico was a wonderful guide. We were able to ask lots of questions and see many centuries of history spread out over the town. Would do this again and highly recommend to anyone from outside.

Great tour through Leiden!

Published on Dec, 2023

This was such a fun tour through Leiden. I live in the Netherlands but a friend from back home came to visit and I wanted to show her a bit more of the city and it’s history and this was the perfect way! Our guide was funny and very knowledgeable and the city is beautiful.
