Each tour takes around 45 minutes to an hour. If the weather allows it the pupils can also visit the viewing point via the historic winding stairs. There you have a view of Leiden and on good days you can even see the sea and the dunes. Please make a reservation at least four weeks in advance.

Our tour guides use a tourguidesystem. The tour guide has a headset-microphone and you can listen in through wired earplugs. In this way you can always hear the tour guide clearly throughout the entire monument. These throw-away earplugs are included in the price.
