Description

Leiden: Cruise through the Historic City Center with a Guide

Discover the most beautiful places in Leiden during a 50-minute cruise on our comfortable boat. We sail electrically and therefore wonderfully silently. We will sail you along the most beautiful places in the city with small groups. Enjoy the lively city center with its parks, terraces, observatory, the Hortus Botanicus, university, rich history, and more. During the tour, your skipper will tell the most special stories about the city with verve, in Dutch and English. Would you prefer information in another language? This is possible with an audio app. In the case of less favorable weather, the boat will be covered and, if necessary, heated. So even in autumn and winter, you can enjoy our comfortable canal tour through Leiden. If you would like to enjoy a drink while sailing, you can purchase it at the departure point before boarding.

Teun was onze schipper. Deed zijn verhaal leuk, op een manier dat je bleef luisteren. Met humor en enthousiasme.
