The guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well. If I were touring on my own I might otherwise just see the tourist sites instead of gaining insight on the true historical aspects of Utrecht.

Willemijn was terrific! She gave us a great tour! She met us at the train station and we walked at a leisurely pace through this beautiful and historic city. She is a knowledgable and friendly guide and we learned much over the 2+ hours we spent with her. Highly recommend!

Willemijn was very knowledgeable and did a good job of showing us her city. She showed us parts of the city we would have missed if on our own.

Our guide, a long-term resident of the city, was extremely well informed about the history of the city and provided fascinating details. We discovered new parts of the city center and she added on extra sites, giving us more of her time for free. Also a great recommendation for lunch in a place off the beaten track.
