4.00The use was quite easy; there is sufficient information about the individual stations. You can freely allocate time and take a break. Can be recommended in good conscience.

4.00Clear informative well paced guide to some interesting sites in beautiful Leiden. Easy to download onto your mobile and with earphones/pods easy to listen to as you walk around. Good that you could choose to stop when you liked rather than on a group tour having to go at the pace the tour guide sets. 15 places of interest on the tour plus additional information I’m sure there is scope for a second audio guide for Leiden but this was a good introduction
Best way to explore Leiden!

5.00This self-guided tour of Leiden was fantastic! The app led me through some amazing routes —from the beautiful canals and hidden “hofjes” to Rembrandt’s old school and the iconic university—while giving me the freedom to explore at my own pace. It was the perfect mix of guidance and flexibility! Highly recommend it!
