“My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and cheese tasting. We so enjoyed dressing up and having a photo memory to take home. We learned lots and had some good hearty laughs along the way.”
Cruise Gouda’s monumental canals on an authentic barge, with skipper-led stories and a stop at Museum Harbour for a memorable 75-minute ride.
“Fijn om op deze manier de stad te ontdekken, onze gids deed heel erg haar best om ons een en ander bij te brengen. Het was niet zo evident om het allemaal goed te volgen omdat je in de boot zelf weinig zag van de omgeving. Dus als ze verwees naar een gebouw bijvoorbeeld aan de rechterzijde, dan kon je dat niet zien, vonden we toch een beetje jammer.”

Step into Gouda’s St. John’s Church for a self-paced audio guide and Europe’s largest set of 16th-century stained glass.
“It was really spectacular! I love old buildings and architecture, it feels like I struck gold with this church! I thought the audio tour was brilliant, it enabled you to go at your own pace and was beautifully narrated.”
