The tour was very interesting and entertaining. The guide was from Utrecht and knew a lot of personal stories related to town's historical past. It is valuable considering the fact that he was doing the tour on his free time after work. Recommend buying the package that includes lunch, saves you time from hassling around the town being hungry. Tour started at 11:00AM and we had plenty of time to visit the castle in afternoon. Absolutely worth money spent!

The guide knew how to make it interesting for both participants familiar with the city and those not familiar with it. Lots of fun facts. And a tour outside the well-known streets. Parts of the city you never go to. Highly recommended

The meeting location was difficult to find as it is down a staircase and under a building. We missed our scheduled tour but reception was very kind and accommodating by rescheduling our excursion for later the same day.

Excellent! I would have preferred a snapshot of the history early in the trip so that what we were seeing could be put into a historical context

The cruise was very interesting and a great way to see Utrecht.
