1-hour guided Leiden canal cruise from Aalmarkt, seeing City Hall, Hortus Botanicus and 88 bridges, plus optional drinks.
“Our handsome guide was very informative and fun. We didn’t understand how an hour passed. Thank you. We will be back.”
50-minute electric boat cruise in Leiden with bilingual skipper stories, quiet sailing, and covered heated comfort when weather turns.
“Beautiful and definitely worth for someone who’s visiting Leiden and wants to get a grasp of the city history and important buildings. Guide was very nice and prepared.”
1-hour windmill boat cruise on the Kagerplassen from Warmond near Keukenhof, with an audio guide and working mills for about $22.
“A perfect cruise in perfect weather, we saw many interesting things.”
Captain your own electric boat in Leiden, exploring 88 canals for up to 8 people in 2 relaxed hours, no boating license needed.
“Very good activity. Staff very friendly, easy to use and figure out.”
Step into Hortus Botanicus Leiden, the Netherlands oldest botanical garden. See orchids, carnivorous plants, and century old trees for $13.
Private car day trip from Amsterdam to UNESCO Kinderdijk windmills, plus a choice of Rotterdam, Gouda, Delft, The Hague or Leiden.
“The trip was hard because the car was just too small for an 8 hour day for 4 average sized adults. It was a very warm day. The air conditioning did not reach those sitting behind the passenger and drivers seat because the person sitting on the hump in the middle seat had to block the vents. The guide was good and the sights a must see. On this trip we split our sightseeing between Tours by Locals and Viator. Because of this incident and the fact that our dissatisfaction didn’t produce a favorable outcome we will not be booking with Viator again.”
A private 1.5-hour walking tour in Leiden with a local guide, focusing on Pilgrim Fathers, Rembrandt, canals, and Dutch resistance.
Paddleboard in Leiden for 2 hours with basic SUP tips, then glide past canals, bridges, and city gates near Aalmarkt.
“Paddleboarding on Leiden's canals was a fun and novel experience for me and my friend. The paddleboarding place was friend and accommodating. Perhaps because we were beginners some extra paddle boarding tips for stability would have been useful.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
