“Diego il nostro “maestro” bravissimo. Un viaggio di un’ora e mezza dal Serrano al Jamon Iberico 100% accompagnato da una bottiglia di cava. Esperienza bellissima. Regalo per i 50 anni del mio compagno, più che gradito.”

2.Gouda Private Walking Tour: History, Architecture & Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $402

Walk Gouda’s old center with a private English-speaking guide, seeing the Gothic city hall, Saint-John Church, De Goudse Waag, and Markt. The tour includes the local cheese story, but cheese tasting may now cost extra, so confirm what is included before booking.

“I struggle with this review as it had nothing to do with tasting cheese and everything to do with the history of the town of Gouda. First, I signed up for tour to sample and taste the magnificent Gouda cheese… only to discover that the description of the tour had changed since my purchase and the sampling was no longer included, but a separate cost! The two guides that gave us the tour were extremely knowledgeable of the history of Gouda and did an amazing job of relating the information to us! Definitely well worth the tour for the knowledge. I really enjoyed the tour but it wasn’t the tour…”
