This was a must see...

This was a must see experience for us visiting Amsterdam and it didn’t disappoint. The whole family (teenaged kids) loved the tour. Ava was a fantastic guide. Getting to the castle early allowed for great pictures without crowds in the way.

Beautiful Trip!

Fantastic trip for lovers of history! The castle stairs are narrow and plenty so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and can climb stairs.

Kasteel de Haar Tour

We really enjoyed our tour of the Kasteel de Haar. It's a beautiful castle and gardens complex with a fascinating backstory of how it came to be. There's a restaurant on the property and the food was delicious and the service excellent. Our guide Ava was very knowledgeable and friendly and brought the whole tour to life. We would recommend this tour, which is just about a 30 minute drive outside of Amsterdam.
