“INTERACTIVE TOUR ”
Stefan was een heel enthousiaste gids met veel historische kennis. We hebben deze tour met 4 vrienden gedaan. Stefan past zich goed aan aan zijn publiek. Je krijgt een goed beeld van Leiden en hij brengt je naar plekken die je niet zo snel zelf zou bekijken! Zeer aan te bevelen.

We had a really fund and informative tour with Stefan. Even tough the weather was not perfect we enjoyed the tour a lot, we saw the important spots in Leiden and Stefan gave us the historical context to them. We even had a private tour as we were the only ones who booked the tour on that day and we got some good recommendations on where to eat as well ;) Great guide!

“Great beginners tour of Leiden and Dutch history”
We took Stefan’s tour on February 11, 2024 and had a great time. He was a knowledgeable guide who was willing to answer any questions about history our group had and he was warm, funny, and kind to all of us. The tour went through many parts of Leiden in two hours and I would highly recommend it. No pressure to leave a tip but we left one gladly - very highly recommended.

A really fun and interesting tour in the major locations of Leiden. Our guide name was Stefan. An enthusiastic man, who spoke fluently English to us all. A true Dutchman with high spirits, vast historical knowledge and cool and fun facts about the city. He answered any questions perfectly and threw in a couple of light hearted jokes. Thank you Stefan, for sharing your knowledge with us and teaching us so much about the history of Leiden. You rock!

“Zeer boeiende city tour”
De city tour met Stefan door Leiden was een ware belevenis. Ook al was ik de enige deelnemer op deze koude zondagochtend, Stefan leidde me met veel enthousiasme en nog meer kennis door de stad. Hij wist veel over de geschiedenis van de stad te vertellen, vaak in de vorm van anekdotes of grapjes. Heel leuk! We kwamen op plekken waar je anders nooit zou komen. Tijdens de tour was er zelfs tijd om een lekkere warme gluhwein te drinken. Al met al
zeer geslaagd.

“Choose Stefan for Leiden”
We decided to visit Leiden, and we needed guidance. The free tour offered Stefan and from the beginning it felt the right guy for that. Also we were only couple he showed up to take us to a 2 hours tour in Leiden. He spoke a very good English and took us to beautiful places around. His knowledge was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful time.

“Best way to discover to Leiden!”
I really enjoyed the tour through Leiden by Stefan! He’s a very easy-going, fun and charismatic tour guide who will tell you all about the city in an exciting, story-telling way. Even though I’ve been living in Leiden for over 6 years, I still learned new fun facts that I will also tell my friends when they come to visit :) A fun way to discover Leiden if you ask me! Would totally recommend for tourists, but also for people who’ve lived in Leiden for several years (like me). You’ll learn a lot about the city in only 2 hours!
