This was one of my favorite experiences in Amsterdam. We learned so much and it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to know lots about Gouda. I’d very much recommend checking this out as a day trip if visiting Amsterdam. The whole experience was great.

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!

Really enjoyed our morning with Suzanne. Very pleasant, friendly tour guide. Great, easy sharing of information whilst showing us around Gouda.

Quaint fun tour of Gouda!

Simona_K, Sep 2025
A great chance to get to know some history and secret gems for little town!!! Susanna was very upbeat and kept it interesting!! This town is beautiful!

A great introduction to Gouda

Kelli_g, Jul 2025
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.

Great tour - personal and friendly - highly recommend

James_H, May 2025
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!!!

Great walking tour

Michael_H, May 2025
Susanne was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We had a great time. We walked at a leisurely place, saw and heard about all kinds of history and fun facts about Gouda.

Best tour ever! Totally recommend

Roudy_G, May 2025
I had the pleasure of experiencing a tour in Gouda with an exceptional guide, Suzanne, who made the day truly unforgettable. She was not only knowledgeable about the city's rich history and culture but also warm, engaging, and genuinely caring. Her enthusiasm brought the stories of Gouda to life, and her thoughtful attention to our interests made the experience feel personalized and special. Whether we were exploring hidden gems or learning about local traditions, she ensured we felt comfortable and connected throughout the journey

Was this a tour or a visit with a friend?

Barry_M, Apr 2025
Our tour guide welcomed us with open arms, got to know us, offered us something to eat and drink and then we went for a walk through Gouda as friends, not as tourists lead by a tour guide. We also spent far more time than planned but it was a beautiful day and we ended it with a beverage and a snack. So worth while and we would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful portion of the Netherlands.

Memorable Gouda Town Tour

Franca_G, Apr 2025
The tour outline is followed but it is also flexible. Suzanne is enthusiastic about her city of Gouda. She caters to your interests and makes the city come alive with history. We highly recommend this tour when visiting Gouda. At the end of the tour you feel like you have not only visited a new city but have also made a new friend.

Highly recommend

Nina_g, Apr 2025
Suzanne was such a pleasure to be with and so knowledgeable about the history, art and evolution of everything. It felt like she was telling a story rather than just listing facts. I was impressed with how she was able to tailor it to the interests of those on the tour. She also added a lot to my experience of the cheese market reenactment (I was lucky enough to visit on a Thursday when it takes place). Even her suggestions of routes to take while wandering afterwards, and cheese shop recommendations were spot on. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Gouda.

History, waffles and coffee with a lovely tour guide

Natasha_S, Mar 2025
This tour was a highlight of my trip to The Netherlands and I highly recommend it to everyone. Suzanne was so lovely, welcoming and fun. It was like having a tour of Gouda with a friend who lives there. She knew some great hidden cafes and laneways as well as all the interesting history. With syrup waffles and coffee, this tour was truly wonderful!

Best way to see Gouda and learn about the city

Danielle_B, Nov 2024
This is a fun tour! Susan is very welcoming and knows lots of interesting trivia about the city! This tour is a great way to get acquainted with Gouda before deciding where to spend the rest of your time and easy to get to the tour location from the train station. I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours!

Collecting Stories

JoahnnaLuisa_B, Dec 2023
Such a lovely host! Very generous with everything- stories, information, coffee and stroopwaffel! Highly recommend!

Incroyable experience

This tour was really interesting and we learned a ton on Gouda the town. Our guide was incroyable! She really took the time to answer our many questions! She was not only able to show us all the hidden gems of this little town she could also tell us the history of all of them!

Best Gouda Walk!

Namrata_J, Jun 2023
Suzanne is among one of the best tour guides! We covered all the important places and Suzanne was knowledgeable about the history of each place/monument. Highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful tour Gouda with personal guide

Gezellige en informatieve wandeling met enthousiaste gids. We begonnen met thee en koffie met stroopwafels. We kregen er onderweg ook nog één met een zakje kruimels voor onderweg. We hebben erg gelachen met de gids Suzanne.

Suzanne is een super enthousiaste gids die de interessante plekken van de binnenstad kent en graag laat zien!

Het was een leuke tocht : heel vrolijke en gastvrije gids. Heel persoonlijke toch aangepast aan eigen interesses

Geweldig

marcel_V, Aug 2024
Geweldig leuke tocht gehad. Omdat de meeste hadden geannuleerd werd het een prive tocht. Erg leuk en doordat we al het een en ander hadden gezien paste Suzanne het programma aan. Complimenten

Persönliche Führung durch Gouda

Myriam_G, Jun 2024
Suzanna hat uns herzlich mit Kaffee und lokalen Sirupwaffeln in ihrem kleinen Laden "Collected Stories Gouda" empfangen und uns erste interessante Fakten über Gouda erzählt. Danach ging es auf den Rundgang durch das schmucke Städtchen. Hier gibt es sogar die Gezeiten, da ein Süsswasserfluss mit salzhaltigem Wasser aus dem Meer zusammenkommt. Die Tour durch Gouda hab ich bisher als eine meiner persönlichster Touren erlebt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
