5.00The guide really knows how to immerse you in the ancient legends of Zierikzee, with lots of atmosphere and a nice wink. The stories are visual, sometimes mysterious and sometimes surprisingly lighthearted. No dry facts, a bit exaggerated, but fun. An immersive experience that shows how many stories this city still has to tell.
Top Tour through Zierikzee!

5.00What a fun and educational city walk! Our guide Mark enthusiastically took us through the rich history of Zierikzee, from the imposing Noordhavenpoort to the hidden alleys. We not only saw the famous highlights, but also got to know the 'hidden gems', such as the old Count's Stone. The stories about seafaring and the legends of the city really made it complete. Highly recommended to experience Zierikzee in this way!"
