Overview
Discover Dordrecht on a private walking tour through the oldest city of Holland. With your own knowledgeable local guide, you explore a historic city shaped by trade, water, and faith. Once the economic heart of medieval Holland, Dordrecht played a key role in the early history of the Dutch Republic. During this private guided tour, you walk along historic harbors, cobbled streets, and past elegant merchant houses, while your guide explains the city’s importance in trade and politics. You see the imposing Grote Kerk and hear about the First Assembly of the Free States in 1572. The private tour of Dordrecht takes place entirely on foot in the compact historic center and normally lasts about 1.5 hours. Because this is a private walking tour, the pace and focus can be adapted to your interests. This guided walking tour is ideal for travelers who want depth, historical context, and a quieter alternative to the larger Dutch cities.

Itinerary
1. This is where we start the tour: in front of the statue of these two famous brothers. Let's find out what these two meant for the Dutch Republic and how they got to their tragic end.
2. We will pass by the Big Church of Dordrecht. The oldest parts of this church date back to the late 13th century! Now it is still an icon of the city.
3. We will not skip the town hall of Dordrecht. This building has quite a history, going back to the 16th century. The current facade however, is a product of the 19th century.
4. During the tour, we will also see parts of the old harbour of Dordrecht: once one of the most important trading cities of The Dutch Republic.
5. The Groothoofdspoort is the city gate at the sport where 3 rivers come together. Since the 13th century, this has been a very recognisable entrance into the city.
