A great introduction to Gouda - Such a fun personalized tour in Gouda. Suzanna is a perfect hostess. It was raining on our tour but we just kept going with umbrellas. We stopped at a local community event for a beer and enjoyed the music. Nice to have a local’s perspective. She took us on a behind the scenes tour in our own hotel (a former orphanage) and we learned so much. Walking tours are a great introduction to a new town so that you can better explore on your own the rest of your visit and feel like a local. You will get tips on where to eat, shop, which museums are worth visiting.

Walking with Sandra (Collective Stories) - Had a very nice walking tour with our guide Sandra. This lady has a lot of ‘Golden’ knowledge and it was very nice to learn those details that you otherwise miss. Nice little shop where she lives with her family. Was a beautiful, fun and enjoyable Sunday!

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!

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.
