Things to do in Gouda, South Holland Province: The Best Tours
Lying about 15 miles northeast of Rotterdam, Gouda is most famous for its eponymous cheese. One of its most prized attractions, De Waag on the town square, was once a weighing house for cheese traders and now features an exhibit detailing the entire cheese making process. Also on the square is the 15th-century town hall, one of the oldest in the Netherlands. On Thursday mornings during the summer, the town’s Markt turns back into a traditional cheese market, something not to be missed.

The Gouda Cheese Experience is a brand new day out. Starts from March 21st 2020. This is a full day Private Tour ! Max 4 pax. The price is per vehicle. Child seats available. A nice day out also for kids! Bottled water and syrup waffles available in the car for free! Combined with going off the beaten tracks, you'll see the most amazing typical Dutch countryside that only the locals know. I am a born and raised Amsterdam guide. During this tour we also visit an authentic (non tourist trap) cheesefarm and see (pass by some) non touristy windmills (free entrance/visit inside) on Saturday. The kids (adults too:-) can have a meet and greet with the cows, we can drink a fresh unpasteurized cold milk straight from the cow, see the barn (cow shed inside) and you can taste and buy the best tasting cheese that you've ever had. The cheesefarm we visit is a Dutch cup winner!
Inclusions: Bottled water, Snacks

Amazing day with Remco! Lovely comfortable car, exactly what we needed -a quite private day with someone really knowledgable. We saw windmills, clog demonstration, tasted some local delicacies. And Remco has a trained eye for detail when it comes to taking pictures. Thanks to him we have so many memories captured :) thank you Remco!!!

An absolute must. Our tour guide Hemelinde was brilliant and extremely accommodating. There was a confusion as to the meeting point however she rearranged her schedule to fit us in later in the day . Extremely informative and knowledgeable. Gives you good ideas of what else to do. Brilliant guide thank you
4. Out with a local
This tour takes you trough Gouda. We will see many of it's monuments, but we will also see the back streets where people live and work. You will see the pretty bits, but also the ugly bits. You get the real stories and the local legends, the pride and the shame. A standard tour takes 1.5 hours, an extended tour takes about 2.5 hours. Or you can have a real custom tour, if you really want to go local! Tell me beforehand what interests you have or if there are specific things you want to do, and I will try to arrange the tour accordingly! So do you want to get cheese where the locals get it? Have a drink where there are no other tourists? Find the hidden shops? I will try my hardest to make sure you have a great experience of our city!
