What To Expect
Muiderslot
Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot is over 700 years old and surrounded by water and beautiful historic gardens. It’s one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in the Netherlands and was built in 1285 by a powerful count with a single clear goal in mind: defense. The castle has a long and turbulent history.
Dom Tower
Enjoy the breathtaking splendor within Utrecht´s city center and its history that dates back before Roman times. It´s hard not to fall in love with this city and its artistic heritage, elaborate tree - lined canal system, and iconic 15 th century Domtoren. Stroll beside the awesome canals with their fascinating medieval cellars and yards, which are unique in the world. Utrecht, the fourth largest city of the Netherlands, gave birth to the Dutch Republic and is nowadays a lively city, bizarrely under-visited by tourism. In 2012 Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world's most unsung places.

5.00Steve is an excellent guide, not just a driver. He gave us an incredible day going above and beyond the basics. His knowledge of the history and facts of the Netherlands was both enlightening, entertaining, and educational. I wish that we had him for all of our trips!

4.00Seeing the castle was very interesting. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The old Utrecht reminded us of San Antonio Riverwalk in Texas USA. Lots of crowds looking to enjoy the shopping and restaurants. Cobblestone streets make it hard for wheelchair.
