Great walk, interesting stories, lots of surprising facts about Leiden. I really liked friendly atmosphere. Just three people in a group made this walk even more enjoyable.

I really liked that this wasn’t just a walk around the city. Every stop was part of one story, and by the end I felt like I truly understood Leiden. The story of the siege will stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend this walk, especially to anyone who loves history.

We really enjoyed our tour with Tanya, we got to understand the city past and evolution as well as appreciate its rich and unique history. She was very flexible and accommodating and my partner and our two dogs had a great time in Leiden while on our way from Noordwijk to Amsterdam

Loved this walk! Leiden is amazing! I've lived in the Netherlands for two years, and this tour helped me understand the country better than anything else. I really appreciated how welcoming Tanya was. From the first few minutes, it felt easy to ask questions and just enjoy the walk. You can tell Tanya genuinely loves the city.
