5.00The tour is easy to start. The stops are within a pleasant walking distance of each other and you get to places you don't think of so easily. Because of the stories and the pictures you look at the city with completely different eyes, so nice! And so nice that you can do it at your own pace, with stops for coffee, lunch or for whatever it suits you.
Informative and flexible tour of Utrecht, recommended!

5.00Did the Utrecht tour with four friends. Super fun and interesting. The Netherlands and Utrecht are beautiful. Lived in Utrecht for years but with this tour you get a different view of a number of places. Interesting that you can look around with your phone in old times. Pleasant voice. Nice that you can also stop in between for a coffee or a too nice shop that you can not walk past. Definitely recommended.

5.00I did the augmented reality city tour in Utrecht last Friday with some friends. Very fun, interactive and educational. The route is easy to follow and in between we took a breather. This tour is ideal, and highly recommended to explore the city without a guide and at your own pace!
A unique and interactive way to discover Utrecht!

4.00My partner and I recently did the city tour of Utrecht and it was a great experience! The combination of AR and city history makes the tour special. We could do the tour at our own pace, which made it even more fun. Stopped for lunch, in a place where we otherwise would not have ended up quickly. Tip; bring wireless earphones (AirPods) and both put one in the ear and make sure your phone is charged;- )
Highly recommend!

5.00Even after years of living in Utrecht, this tour taught new and fascinating things about the city! The digital guide shared stories and hidden details about familiar places that I’d never known before. It was a perfect mix of history, fun facts, and unique spots. Great for both locals and visitors of my beautiful city. Highly recommend!
AR, an experience you never had before.

4.00Super nice to do whenever you visit Utrecht! We have done many Rick Steves audio tours all over the world, but this tour tops them all. Being able to see historical footage at the exact place it happened, or visiting a garden where you can see life-sized nuns walking around, was a great way to learn about the history of Utrecht. If you have never done an AR tour before, it is a definite recommendation.
Super tour in Utrecht

5.00What a fun activity to get to know the city of Utrecht better. We had a very nice afternoon with colleagues. Also nice by yourself. I am familiar with the city myself but have seen so many new facts and sights. This is a tour that moves with the times. Fun for young and old. Take your time, charge your phone's battery and put in your earphones and enjoy.
