Gouda Guides Guild
Take a walking tour of the city and discover a surprising side of Gouda!
In the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, Gouda was one of the most important and wealthiest cities in Holland. Unfortunately, however, Gouda has also experienced poverty. Let one of the 24 enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides from the Gouda Guides Guild take you on a journey and help you discover the many different sides of Gouda. Of course, the tour highlights the iconic, late-Gothic town hall, the Waag, St. John’s Church with its 72 stained-glass windows, and the former Catharina Gasthuis. But it also focuses on other charming streets, picturesque alleys, unique buildings, and places brimming with stories.
Join one of the themed “Instapwandelingen” (introductory walks) during Gouds Montmartre, after the Cheese Market, or on most Saturdays. Or, as a group, family, or company, request a Group Walk and choose your own theme.
