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.

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.
