Culinary Boat Trip
Would you like a boat trip through Leiden and surrounding waterways and also enjoy an (extensive) dinner with your group? Our Culinary Boat Trip provides this perfect combination. You can choose from a number of unique restaurants at the waterfront in Leiden or its surroundings, such as in a historical city gate or in an original flour mill. Between courses we can sail you through ‘Old Leyden’ from one restaurant to the next and if you wish, we tell you good old stories about Leiden.

Young Rembrandt year
Because 2019 is ‘Young Rembrandt Year’ Stichting De Leidse Rederij has a special Rembrandt-arrangement on offer.
During the boat tour through the picturesque canals of Leiden you will follow Rembrandt throughout his younger years. Your captain will provide you with stories about the ups-and-downs of his youth as well as his apprenticeship as a painter. From the boat you can see a replica of the typical Dutch mill that Rembrandt’s father owned at the Galgewater. Next to mill there is an old wooden drawbridge that was named after Rembrandt since the bridge was built during his childhood years.
After about an hour you will disembark at the historical city center of Leiden, where a guide will walk you further through the story of young Rembrandt. See the authentic streets and alleys around the Pieterskerk, where Rembrandt grew up and attended school. Although his parents signed him up for the University of Leiden, he soon realized that he would rather become a painter. At the ‘Young Rembrandt Studio’ at Langebrug 89 you can experience his transformation from a young boy into a painter. (Open Wed. – Sun. 12.00 – 17.00) lees meer read more

Course in Leiden’s Dialect
In this arrangement you can learn some dialect and slang typical to Leiden. It is only possible to participate in this trip if you are fluent in spoken and written Dutch. Please check out the Dutch version of this article for more details.
Pushing ahead with the ‘Doordouwer’
Get on board the Doordouwer, an old sea-going lifeboat that allows you to do-it-yourself. The name Doordouwer means ‘stayer’ or ‘pushy one’.
This ship contains its original manual propelling system with eight handles, which are operated by opposite pairs with an alternating push-and-pull movement. As a result of this movement, the propeller is powered and the boat starts to move. In the old days, this was a reliable way for the crew to quickly move away from a sinking ship.
