This tour aims to give you a peak into the live of a normal dutchman. We will take you away from the tourist traps and crowds of Amsterdam and take you to one of the most cosy and pleasant cities in the Netherlands, Leiden. Leiden has been described as the better version of Amsterdam, with its majestic canals, friendly people, rich history and bustling city live. Leiden offers a chance to peak into the true side of the Netherlands and experience the cosiness of the Dutch people while being surrounded by over 450 years of history.
Hopefully, at the end of your tour, you will understand an old quote from Einstein: "Leiden, that delightful little place of earth."
We start by visiting the grand Amsterdam central station and looking into the lesser known history of the area before taking the train to Leiden.
Once in Leiden we go over to Lammermarkt to view an historic windmill in the middle of the city and look into the history of windmills in the Netherlands.
Walking though the alleyways of the city we will look for some hidden murals depicting the scientific and cultural importance of the city.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
