Something to celebrate? Enjoy it while boating!

Leiden is a city rich of water and while boating you can enjoy the many beautiful and historical sights of the old and modern parts of the city. We take pleasure in organising an entertaining and relaxing boat trip through the old canals and green fringed moats of Leiden. Once out of Leiden, we sail into the green heart of Holland with its characteristic wind, water and green grassland.

Leiden in one minute!

Leiden is famous for its monuments, university and museums, but it also has a vibrant and attractive city centre with a large and diverse selection of pubs and cafés, eateries, antique shops, restaurants and small boutiques. As most streets and quays have been recently refurbished, the antique-style street lanterns again shed their warm glow onto the canals, alleys and squares, making Leiden one of the most attractive historical cities of Holland.

A boat tour in Leiden feels like a big peepshow on the water...
