Walking Tour in Leeuwarden
Leonie was our guide on the walking tour (free) today. Leonie was a wealth of information and her history teaching background came in very handy. This is a great trip to do at the start of your stay in Leeuwarden as it includes a snapshot of some items that you can explore further if you so desire. Booking is easy through the very helpful staff at the visitor centre and we booked the English guide at 12 noon on a Saturday. It’s the only time for English unless you book a private guide. Hearing the stories in your own language makes sure you don’t miss out on all the extra information.

When in Leeuwarden, don't miss this tour! Tour guide Henk took us on a journey in his beautiful city, showing us the highlights and street art. Peppered with humor and wit, it was a tour to remember!! He also gave tips onthings to do after the tour, of which we did take advantage. Don't miss this introduction to Leeuwarden 👊🏻🦁

Highly recommended. Zenon was a great tour guide and gave the history of the city while taking us to parts of Leeuwarden that we would not have seen or understood otherwise. Really helped to make sense of the place and brought it to life.

We had a great english speaking tour (the leeuwarden free tour) our guide (Kevin) was great and very knowledgeable. He threw in some history fun facts because he knew we liked it. Overall great experience and guide, definitely worth doing. We will be doing the dutch version very soon.
