Tidlig bygning fra det 13. århundrede og tidligere fængsel for byen Leiden. Fra det øjeblik udførtes dødsdomme på pladsen foran Gravensteen (domstolen). I 1556 blev Gravensteen udvidet med en celleblok, der stadig er intakt. I 1598 blev fængslet forsynet med et disciplinhus og i 1655 et spider- og raspberryhus. Endelig blev en ny fire-scissor (stedet hvor retten blev afholdt) bygget i 1672. I slutningen af det nittende århundrede faldt bygningen i stigende grad i misbrug. Den sidste dødsstraf blev udført her i 1856.

We had a wonderful summer day in Leiden, enlightened by Jamie’s detailed stories and history of this beautiful Dutch city. It was a great walking tour, Jamie was very informative and fun!
Jamie gives an amazing tour with a lot of knowledge of the history and importance of Leiden. We booked just the evening before and were the only people on our tour, but Jaimie still took his time with us, took photos of us at picturesque points and gave us a lot of information. Highly recommend!
If you’re looking for something fun and interesting to do while visiting Leiden, I highly recommend taking a tour with Leiden walks! Jamie was a really great guide, super chill and very informative! (Also down to take pics for you at all the cute spots) The route was perfect, with many beautiful and historical stops 🙂
I love booking tours like this because we get to see a ton of new areas without pricing ourselves out from the job. We happily tipped 50€ for this tour with our friends (three of us total) and it was probably worth more. We saw so many quiet corners of Leiden, and learned so much, but the time still flew. Jamie was a great great guide. Holly handled all the emails and info ahead of time and followed up with us afterwards with more recommendations. It was just a great experience for us.
Enjoyable way to learn about Leiden. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!’
Thank you so much for spending some of your vacation with us!
Jamie is very friendly. He is knowledgeable about the history of Leiden. We enjoyed our tour very much. Jamie also gave us great recommendations for dinner at the end of our tour.
He's the best - thank you for touring with us!
We did this tour on our first day in the city and it was the perfect introduction to Leiden. Our guide knew the city inside and out and you could genuinely tell how much he loves it and his energy made it feel way more like exploring with a local than being on a tour. We ended up following basically all of his recommendations for food, drinks, and places to visit, and every single one landed. Honestly, the trip would not have been the same without it. We left actually understanding the city rather than just having walked through it. Highly recommend if you want a fun, genuine way to experience Leiden!
Thank you so much for spending some of your vacation time with us!
Our guide Jamie skillfully led us through +400 years of Leiden history on an informative and compact walking tour. He took us to all the important locations of interest and gave us concise information on a wide range of historical events and people that shaped Leiden. Jamie also took us to the very best canal spots and happily took photos for us. Jamie's knowledge of Leiden history was outstanding, the 1.5 hours flew by fast. We finished the tour with a good understanding of this beautiful city's history! Thanks for a great tour, Jamie!
He's the best :-) Thank you for touring with us!
We had booked on a Group Walking Tour of Leiden but good luck was on our side; the other couple who had booked did not turn up so we ended up with a private tour with Jamie (who's originally from Puerto Rico but has moved to Leiden with his young family). The one and a half hours flew by with a very informative and entertaining walk and description of Leiden's past and current social scene; all extremely interesting. Leiden is an easy town love, dominated by beautiful architecture, interesting history and a complete sensory overload - bikes, coffee shops and people going about having fun in the sunshine. Jamie is full of joy interesting facts and dates and his love for the city is plain to see. We really enjoyed the tour and recommend it to anyone new to Leiden.
This was the first time visiting Leiden and what a beautiful city it is. We never would have had the opportunity to experience the everyday life that people who live there see everyday. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and patient with our constantly asking questions about everything around us. The 90 minutes flew by and the information we received never made it into any history books we ever read. We highly recommend this tour for singles, couples and/or families. Bush Family
