Incroyable experience - This tour was really interesting and we learned a ton on Gouda the town. Our guide was incroyable! She really took the time to answer our many questions! She was not only able to show us all the hidden gems of this little town she could also tell us the history of all of them!

wonderful Sunday tour ! - we had a wonderful time with Suzanne, who was very kind and friendly, it was a great tour on Sunday, strolling around the canals and seeing all the important sites and Suzanne showing us all her favorite spots around the city, it was fun and easy going, we started the tour with cappuccinos and the famous Siroopwafel that Gouda is famous for and ended in the collected stories shop which is full of charming items and souvenirs, I truly recommend this tour!
