Overview

  • Leiden, Delft and Gouda in one private day: three historic Dutch cities, each with its own story, linked by one guide.

    • Private guide for the whole day, the same guide in all three cities
    • Lunch in Delft and a cheese tasting in Gouda
    • Transfers between the cities included; pick-up from a location of your choice can be added

    In Leiden, you explore the old center along its canals. The city survived a Spanish siege in 1574 and was home to Rembrandt, the oldest university of the country and the Pilgrim Fathers. You pass the Morspoort city gate, the windmill De Put and the Pieterskerk.

    In Delft, you walk past the Market Square, the leaning Old Church and the Prinsenhof, and hear about Vermeer, Delft Blue and the House of Orange. Lunch is in Delft.

    In Gouda, you see the town hall, the weighing house and the St. John's Church, and end the day with a cheese tasting.

    You set the pace: want to spend longer somewhere? Just let your guide know.
