Leiden & Delft: Half-Day Private Tour including Transfer
Discover two of the most historically rich cities in the Netherlands on this half-day private tour, with a transfer between the cities included. In Leiden, your guide walks you through a city packed with stories: it heroically survived a Spanish siege in 1574, it is where Rembrandt was born, where the Pilgrim Fathers found refuge before sailing to America, and where the oldest university in the Netherlands was founded. In Delft, you step into the Dutch Golden Age: canals, churches, and the stories of Vermeer and William of Orange. Walk past the leaning Old Church and the towering New Church, discover lesser-known gems like the former Dutch East India Company office, and hear the stories of the city that shaped so much of Dutch history. The transfer between the two cities takes just 20 minutes. You can do the tour in either direction. This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have any special requests or an interest in a certain topic, just let us know.

Half-Day Private Guided Tour in Leiden
The people of Leiden believe that their city is the most beautiful one in the country, if not the whole world. It is hard to argue with that :). In fact, there is no other place on Earth, where stories from all over the world are intertwined in such a dense tangle. This is the birthplace of Rembrandt and genius mocker Jan Steen. It is where the origins of the modern Netherlands come from, as well as the United States of America and modern art. Einstein and Churchill walked on these cobblestone pavements here. All these stories are full of surprises, amusing paradoxes, and sometimes ridiculous tales or absurdities. Here, the subject of botany suddenly turns from a primary school class into a real detective story, physics - into tragedy, commerce - into philosophy and the rational organization of the urban environment - into poetry. After Leiden, your life will never be the same!

Pilgrims and Painters of Leiden: A Self Guided Walking Tour
In the 1600s, a single tulip bulb sold for the price of a canal house - and the flower that started the famous tulip mania was planted right here in Leiden. This walking tour follows a trail that takes you to that spot at the Hortus Botanicus and through the streets where Rembrandt grew up, sketched his earliest works, and became the painter who would define the Dutch Golden Age. Along the way, you will hear how Leiden's canals were built as moats to stop invaders, why poems cover the city walls instead of graffiti, and how a group of English refugees, called the pilgrims, sheltered here before sailing - with nine future US Presidents among their descendants. Your local guide walks you through 12 stops, from the atmospheric Galgewater canal to the panoramic fortress of De Burcht. Along the way, you can get a Rembrandt-style portrait sketched and explore one of the city's hidden hofjes. Available in 9 languages. Works offline. No schedule, no group - just you and the city.

Private Flowerfield Tour in a smooth electric car from Leiden
It is a pleasure to sit in our quiet Tesla and pass by the beautiful flower fields with your own company. We will take some d tours through the colorful flower fields. After the nice smell of flowers we are going to breathe the salty healthy air of the sea. And finally we will taste the typical Dutch delicatessen: de zoute haring (salted herring). I know you’re not sure if you should buy one. So I will. When there are no blooming flowerfields we will visit the rural area near Zoeterwoude where we will see several meadow birds and we will visit a farmstore.
