About this experience
No rush, but plenty of time to take the best pictures. This tour is in the evening. Doesburg then transforms into a fairy tale. The medieval streets, old street lamps and more than 150 monuments make it extremely photogenic. As icing on the cake, weather and peregrine falcon breeding season permitting, we go up the tower of the Martini Church. You can then take the best photos during the golden or blue hour. We will take you to the most photogenic spots at the most photogenic time of day.
