Who are we?

The Gilde Leiden Foundation enables the active older generation to remain socially involved. Gilde Leiden organizes different thematic walking tours. The members of Gilde Leiden who conduct these tours, are all passionate city guides. We, the voluntary guides of the foundation, have a broad historical interest concentrated specifically on Leiden and we want to provide our guests with an interesting and enjoyable walking tour. We recount the ‘tales of the city’ and its history enthusiastically and can do so in English or German.
