What people are saying about Leiden

We had such a great time exploring on this self tour! It ended up being the best part of our trip! Got to see local gems we never would have experienced and had a lot of fun driving around. Friendly, easy and informative. Would definitely do another route if we came back. Thank you!!

Attached to the University, it has been collecting samples of vegetation from every place in the world for hundreds of years. Well maintained gardens and hot houses, available for local public to find relaxation and sunshine.. I will go there every time I visit Leiden.

This tour was great. We got to see multiple Tulip fields ! You can get very close to the flowers to get pictures . Very easy to use and navigate

Even if the weather was rather so-so, everyone had a lot of fun. Went as a group of 8 people in 4 cars - even the 80+ seniors loved it.

A different experience than when you typically look at old ruins etc.
