5.00We came for one day and visited only Sint Pieter. Its definitely worth it!! You dont only get to know about the story of Maastricht, it’s also cool if you have a general interest in history. Our tour guide was Wim, a very funny and chilled guy. So you dont need to be afraid of cold and dark tunnels. Outisde around Sint Pieter you can have a nice walk or have a drink after the tour. Enjoy :)

5.00We went on a trip to underground Zonneberg caves with our guide called "Ruud". He was was a wonderful guide with loads of knowledge and a strong flashlight to keep us from getting lost. Best guide ever 10/10!
Nice hotel in an ideal location with small prints

4.00Located ideal for a trip to Maastricht, buses right outside the door that are in the center in 15min. The standard rooms are large enough, but a bit old. The SpA range is only mediocre. The two saunas are ok, but the so-called whirlpool consists of only 2 bathtubs with corresponding function, which are then of course occupied by only 1-2 people and where you would have to wait a long time until these are free. In addition, there were no towels in the Saunabrreich. Breakfast is not really worth 4 stars. For example, there were only 2 very similar cheeses and instead of juices only thin fruit juice drinks. The staff did not follow up with setting and laying the tables. In the restaurant we ate very well, service in the hotel very friendly.

5.00It was an entertaining and partly also very amusing city tour with a very sympathetic guide. He has given us insights beyond what has been described. We couldn't have seen that in private.
A welcoming, knowledgeable guide for Maastricht

5.00Today our guide Jos took us around the Old Town to illustrate important episodes in the city’s history He has a deep knowledge of history and talked and answered questions easily. He was especially welcoming to us, explaining how grateful he is to all the allied soldiers who fought for them against the Nazis in WWll. The town continues to tend their graves.
Waste of time and money

1.00We had a tour on September 25, 2025. The worst tour we ever had. Waste of money and time. No interesting facts, no history and simple don't care about his job. He has no idea how to present even this poor material he had. Most of the tours we had - was a pleasure and people applaud.
Jos - a great city guide

5.00We stayed with a group about Nickocruises in Maastricht. Jos - our guide - showed us his city with a lot of commitment and passion. Lots of little anecdotes, sometimes an approach of people on the street to get their view of the city. Everyone really liked that Jos (a retired teacher) always involved us, the quizzes were amusing and tickled our ambition out. A great time! Thank you Jos! A city worth seeing!
Great walking tour with funny city guide (JOS!)

5.00Our group was traveling with JOS. He turned out to be an avid Maastricht fan and fantastic narrator! Educated, funny and riddled with many private experiences, he has made me a real Maastricht fan!! Thank you very much for the great trip!
