Overview

Discover Leiden and The Hague, two historical cities that have played a major role in Dutch history. Visit them both in this immersive 4.5 hour private tour.

First up, you will see Leiden, known its stunning canals and classy streets. Step back in time as you explore its old centre. The city that heroically survived a Spanish siege in 1574 is full of stories: it was the home of Dutch Master Rembrandt, the oldest university of the country, and the Pilgrim Fathers.

Next up, you'll see the classy streets of The Hague, our political capital. Walk past our parliament, the prime minister's office, royal palaces, foreign embassies and countless old facades. Your guide will bring the city alive with interesting stories and insider tips.

The transfer between the two cities is included and only takes 11 minutes. If you want to start in The Hague and end in Leiden, please let us know! Everything is possible

The first thing you will see during the tour is the famous Morspoort, one of the oldest entrances to the city.

The old town hall of Leiden. It is an iconic building that we cannot miss during the tour. Your guide will tell you about it!

The Hofvijver lake is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office (the little tower!). You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny history.

Standbeeld gebroeders De Witt
