Discover 2,000 years of the Netherlands' oldest city on a bespoke private walking tour with a passionate local guide — from Roman ruins and medieval lanes to the lively Grote Markt.
What to expect
Begin at the ancient Valkhof hilltop, where Roman legions and Charlemagne both held court, then wind through the medieval Lange Hezelstraat — the oldest shopping street in the Netherlands. Your guide brings the Stevenskerk Gothic church to life with tales of its near-total wartime destruction and meticulous post-war restoration. End at the Grote Markt, where you'll have time to absorb the atmosphere of the city's vibrant central square over a local jenever or coffee.
Good to know
Book via ToursByLocals to connect directly with a vetted Nijmegen local guide. Confirm your all-aboard time upfront so the guide can size the tour appropriately. Flat shoes recommended — cobblestones are charming but uneven. Most moorings are within 10 minutes' walk of the Valkhof start point.
