Viator saved the day - Our guide Lucy was really great. We had a last minute cancellation from “Tour by Locals” and Viator had a great alternative. I am learning Viator is the way to go. Simple and a better value. Cheerio

Well worth hiring a private - Our guide Marllouse was very good. She was punctual and went an extra leg to come and find us. Her tour was great & well explained and gave us enough time to go around.

Highly recommended - Our guide, Lucy, was so informative and friendly. She gave us an excellent overview of the city's history as well as an insight of contemporary life. We were a group of seven and it was great to have her to ourselves as so much more personal

Great story of history and culture blending in with a walk past Utrechts' city highlights - Overall very great experience! A nice story of history and culture that blend in with each other while walking past some of the iconic buildings and monuments. We visited the place as a couple with the parents of one of us (international). Even as a Dutch person there is still lots to learn and to relate during the story. 100% recommend to learn some things about the city of Utrecht and the history and culture of the Netherlands.
