The Dordrecht City Centre Walking Tour is our most popular guided tour through the historic city centre. During this two-hour private tour, you explore Dordrecht’s main sights, harbours and stories with an experienced local guide.

Historic harbours and monuments

The walk takes you through Dordrecht’s atmospheric old harbours and past monumental buildings, former warehouses and historic townhouses. Along the way, you will see highlights such as the Grote Kerk, the Munt, characteristic courtyards and the Hof van Nederland, where the First Free Assembly of the States took place in 1572. The tour gives you a clear impression of Dordrecht’s development as a trading city and the distinctive character of its historic centre.

Stories from Dordrecht’s history

Your guide also tells you about important events and well-known people who helped shape the city. These include the De Witt brothers and artists such as Aelbert Cuyp and Ary Scheffer. Dordrecht’s history as a wine-trading city and its centuries-long relationship with water are also part of the tour.
