Fixed themes and customisation

What about Bommen Berend? Why are Groningen's courtyards so special? What are the most beautiful examples of Art Nouveau in the city centre? At Paulien Excursions, you can choose from all kinds of themes, usually guided by the development of the city. During bicycle tours in the province, the development of the landscape and heritage is also in the foreground. You can find all my themed walks on my website. Prefer something else? You can! I myself also like to keep discovering new things, which is why I create tailor-made routes on request. For instance, make a feast of recognition of your family reunion with a route along old memories.

Enthusiastic and surprising

Since 2002, I have had the pleasure of guiding some 35,000 people through Groningen. No endless enumeration of dry facts with me. The true stories of Groningen are far too beautiful for that. During a walk through the city or a cycle trip through the province, I explain in a way that everyone can understand how Groningen came into being and why it looks the way it does now. You always see things you wouldn't have seen otherwise, even if you've lived in Groningen all your life. One of my own favourites: a city walk combined with good food. With Happen & Stappen, we walk from aisle to aisle in three stages. Very nice for a company party, for example, with a casual atmosphere.
