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!

Private Tour from Amsterdam: Historical Leiden

A Truly Unforgettable Experience in Leiden

If you’re considering a private tour of Leiden, book with Matthew! Our family had a wonderful day, and he was the reason it exceeded every expectation. From the very start, Matthew made everything easy - he met us at the train station and seamlessly guided us through the journey from Amsterdam. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about Leiden’s rich history, its famous intellectuals, and the remarkable inventions and discoveries that originated in this city. Having spent significant time living/studying in Leiden himself, he wove in personal anecdotes alongside the historical facts and landmarks, making the whole experience feel intimate and authentic rather than rehearsed. He is incredibly approachable and the kind of guide who makes you feel less like tourists and more like you’re exploring with a friend. The picnic was a lovely highlight, especially for the younger members of our group - the lunch and weather were simply perfect, though a heads-up for those with older guests...sitting on the ground was a bit of a challenge for some members in our group. And perhaps one of our favorite unplanned moments was when Matthew carved out time to stop at a local restaurant for a cold beer together. Leiden itself is a gem, but Matthew made this day truly memorable - he is relaxed, local, and genuinely fun. Don’t miss this experience...highly recommend, 10/10.

Leiden Rembrandt Quest: World's Greatest Painter's Youth

A great way to discover this city while remembering things about Rembrandt

A great tour for the whole family, where the children can guess well. Just the right level for primary school children and older together with the parents you can do it great. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Rembrandt and saw a lot.
