History Tours in Leiden

Leiden Photography Workshop and Historic Photo Walking Tour

Leiden through your own unique lens

This is probably one of the most unique and enjoyable tour experiences in Leiden. It incorporates a little bit of everything: iconic sites, beautiful architecture, historical background, and learning to view everything through a unique lens, both figuratively and literally. The local guides are very friendly and patient. They make sure to keep it accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of photography skill level, and are also happy to get a bit more detailed and/or technical if that’s what you’re into. The small group size keeps it feeling intimate and personal, and the common shared interest amongst the participants makes for a welcoming and fun atmosphere. I would highly recommend!

Leiden Private Canal Boat Tour with Drinks and Snacks

Custom Windmill Canal Tour

Highly recommend this company for a Leiden canal tour! We requested a custom tour for a group of nine with a focus on windmills. Jonathan delivered a perfect three-hour itinerary starting in the city center that took us out to see nine windmills. Our skipper was very hospitable and highly knowledgeable about the local area, and the team even provided packets with details about each windmill. We were looking forward to the included pizza, beer, and wine and were delighted to see that Jonathan included juices and soft drinks for those in our party who don’t drink alcohol and also surprised us with extra snacks and desserts.

Leiden & Delft: Half-Day Private Tour including Transfer

Perfect half day exploring Leiden and Delph!

Linda was the perfect guide, host and ambassador! I’ve been to Leiden several times for work and wanted to learn more about the city and its history. Linda did that and much more as I was also introduced to Delph, a short train ride from Leiden, the city with historical significance and famous for its Blue Delph ceramics. After the tour was over, I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring Delph on my own. A super bonus was we had spectacular weather. Not too hot or cold. I would highly recommend this tour and Linda!
