Great tour - personal and friendly - highly recommend - Completely enjoyed this tour! As others have said the tour started with a nice drink, snack, and chat before we explored Gouda together. We went down lots of alleys and areas I would not have found on my own. It was a nice small group and we enjoyed chatting with others on the tour. There was a lot going on in the town the day of our tour so it was helpful to have the guide with all the activity. Highly Recommended!!!

Everyone should go on this tour!! - If you are looking for a warm, vibrant, bubbly human to jaunt around Gouda and learn some interesting history, this is the tour for you! Susanne was an amazing tour guide. We were greeted with complimentary drinks, stroopwafels, and wonderful conversation, then proceeded to embark on a lovely tour of the city. She was so knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we had. Perfect for families or anyone passing through.

Small group with personal and friendly tour - This is a very unique and personal experience. The tour starts at Susanne's (sp?) home with intros, drinks, and snacks. It's a small tour and she points out specific things that the group is interested in. It's quite different than other tours since it is very personal but we enjoyed it!

Must-Do Tour of Gouda! Amazing Experience! - This was the best tour experience that I’ve ever been on. Suzanne, our tour guide, is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We had an amazing time exploring Gouda with her. The tour was highly tailored to our interests, and she took the time to answer all our many questions with care. She shared a lot of interesting history and entertaining stories. This tour is an absolute must-do if you are in the area. Gouda is a perfect day trip from Amsterdam (just a 1 hour train ride in the Sprinter). Highly, highly, highly recommend!

This was one of my... - This was one of my favorite experiences in Amsterdam. We learned so much and it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to know lots about Gouda. I’d very much recommend checking this out as a day trip if visiting Amsterdam. The whole experience was great.

Was this a tour or a visit with a friend? - Our tour guide welcomed us with open arms, got to know us, offered us something to eat and drink and then we went for a walk through Gouda as friends, not as tourists lead by a tour guide. We also spent far more time than planned but it was a beautiful day and we ended it with a beverage and a snack. So worth while and we would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful portion of the Netherlands.

Warm and hospitable local guide - Suzette was very warm and hospitable to our small touring group of six. It was a very relaxed walking tour, we sat for some time at the meeting place and then walked past and learned about many major points of local interest.
