Free walking tours in Leiden

Jamie did a good job giving an orientation to Leiden and Dutch history generally. Was sensitive to the pace and needs if the group.

We had an excellent experience with our tour guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the city’s history and culture. They made sure we didn’t miss any of the most interesting and beautiful spots, while also sharing fascinating insights along the way. The tour felt well-paced, informative, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking to explore the city in a meaningful and memorable way, I would absolutely recommend this experience to others!

You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it made a huge difference in how much we enjoyed the tour. We had an amazing time learning about the city and would highly recommend Job to anyone visiting Leiden!

I booked a walking tour in Leiden and my guide was Job, the tour itself was fantastic! It was super informative, relaxed, and full of fun facts about the city. I loved that we didn’t rush through all the famous spots — Job took the time to share great stories and hidden gems along the way. He’s an amazing guide who made my stay in Leiden so much better. Highly recommend this tour!

We learnt a lot in a relaxed manner. Job was super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Job was informative, thoughtful and showed us so many secret (for travelers) and unique passageways, alleys and areas of Leiden. We feel we have a very good understanding of the history and culture of this wonderful city. Thank you, Job! We went back to a couple of the bars you recommended and enjoyed so much! HIGHLY recommend your tour! Dory (with a y? Why not!) & Peter

Job was really a great guide and made the most of our day in Leiden. For more that 2,5 hours he brought us in very nice places, told interesting stories and answered all our questions with enthusiasm and humor. He even offered us local treats and drinks! We have taken several Guru Walks so far, he was definitely the best! Highly recommended!

It was really great day and highly recommend!

Super nice and insightful! Job even provied us with drinks and local snacks, which really added to the experience

I recently went on a walking tour of Leiden. Our guide, Job, was exceptional! He was personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city. He shared fascinating insights into Leiden’s history, architecture, and hidden corners that I never would have discovered on my own. What really stood out was how he went out of his way to tailor the tour to our interests and make sure everyone felt engaged. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore Leiden in a meaningful and enjoyable way!

Excellent knowledge, story telling and time keeping! We know Leiden now from many perspectives.

Brilliant tour. Job was very knowledgable and informative. It was probably one of the best guides we've had with Guru. Thanks for a great tour.

Job is a knowledgeable guide, full of anecdotes, with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed his tour a lot!

Job told amazing stories about the history of Leiden. We learned a lot about the city. And he showed all places of interest. All in all a wonderful tour of 3 hours.

Five stars guide, enthusiastic and engaging , time flew by, really recommended !!!!

Job was a great guide in beautiful Leiden. Very informative and funny your. I'd highly recommend a tour with Job if you are in Leiden. Thanks for a great tour.

We were part of Jobs fifth tour trough the beautiful city of Leiden. We really enjoyed it and he brought an excitement and love for the city, which made the whole experience special! We liked the stops he chose, but at times, we we were missing some depth or detail in the explanations or answers. But knowing it was only his fifth tour ever, he’s off to a fantastic start! We’d definitely come back to Job as a guide in the future, just how he personally led the tour made it memorable and enjoyable for us. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for the great tour Job, your interesting storys about Leiden and your friendliness.

Job was a superb person to talk this walk with. He works full time and does these tours on weekends. So very different from a usual guide. He took us to a lot of places and his little anecdotes made us appreciate Delft better. He went out of his way and even dropped us to the Central station. We enjoyed his tour very much and recommend him to all visitors to this wonderful little city.

Job is an excellent story teller. He combines this with a great dose of humor. We learnt an awful lot about Leiden history and remarkable places. In short, and have enjoyed a great day with Job guiding us along the hidden gems of Leiden !

Very friendly guy, included all the group: French, Dutch and English. The tour suited everyone’s walking pace and there was an opportunity for a toilet break. Job spoke good English and was ready to take on board expressions that were unfamiliar to him.

Wir haben es sehr genossen. 😊
