Hi,
My friends are coming from America and would love a tour of Leiden, there are several tour operators, but can anybody recommend one over another? Also they are big wine enthusiasts can anyone recommend a restaurant that does a wine paring menu? Or a wine tasting in Leiden the last week in May?

dears,
As of May my family and I will be living in Ankara (Turkey) for the comming 1,5 years. Since we love Leiden and our house in the old city centre we are planning to rent our house for the interim period till jan 2014.
maybe someone knows a family/ couple who are looking for a carateristic place to live and might be interested to live in Leiden city centre, Pieterskerkgracht, in a historical building for the comming 1 - 1,5 year.
you can contact me via this site or 06 29 84 62 62
it is great to read this site. I can only hope that in Ankara i find similar initiatives if not, you are a great inspiration.
love, Shirley

Hi folks
Glad to find this useful website. Am fairly new in Leiden and love it. Right now, I have two enquiries - the urgent one is the dentist! I live in the centre - can anyone recommenda dentist? Also, I badly need a decent hairdressers for highlights; however, I have read other expats saying the Dutch are hopeless at colour - any suggestions? Thanks indeed. Will be back again for a more sociable entree .. Best, Maura.

Hello everyone,
I am dutch journalist and I have lived in Italy for a few years so I know what it is like to settle down in a new country. Now I work for a dutch magazine and I write an article about the settling down process of expats and their partners/family. Who would like to answer some questions about this topic? I'll buy you a drink on a nice terrace in Leiden (I live in Leiden as well). Hope to speak to you soon! Linda, l.van.putten@intermediairpw.nl

Hello, what a great website!
I will soon be moving to Leiden with my boyfriend, in fact he is already there and I am desperately seeking for a cleaning lady who could come twice per month to a small apartment. I hope I will meet this fantastic community once I move there, currently living in Sweden.
Hope someone can help me with this request.
cheers,
