Private Walking Tour in Utrecht

About this activity

Whereas the NY Times describes Utrecht as a city that deserves more than a pleasant day trip from Amsterdam, according to a leading Australian news site the city has the most beautiful canals of Europe.

They are right; with its iconic Dom Tower, churchyards, the old center and canals, Utrecht is absolutely stunning. Meet your guide from a multiple award-winning tour operator in the heart of the city center and set off on a historical and cultural walking tour (that optionally ends at a historical city castle for a beer tasting).

Learn about the city’s history that started around 2,000 years ago, when Utrecht was part of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Discover hidden spots and walk through little cobbled streets and churchyards; all leading to what has been for centuries the city’s main artery, the 1.5 m long old canal Oudegracht.

Naturally, the Dom tower cannot be skipped for its dominating tower is Utrecht's pride and joy!
