Nice to see the Castles of The Netherlands

Dana_M, Jul 2024

Great to see 2 castles in Netherlands — highlights in both castles — Guide was timely and took his time for most part taking us through the castles— overall very good, would have liked little more info from guide and several things he was not aware of, that we felt should have been — I.e. some of history, that gift shop at Muiderslot is permanently closed now— that the snack restaurant place at Castle de haar closes early so couldn’t get any food or snacks there at end of our tour— whrn he had discussed us doing that - and unable to answer some of questions (( questions that seemed relevant)) but he was very nice and kindly explained what he did know…

A Regal Tour into Holland’s Storied Past

Yula was a wonderful tour guide and a complete delight—lots of insight into each castle and a bonus trip to the heart of Utrecht! The castles provided an interesting look into Dutch history, its lore and its wealth. It is definitely worth your time.

Amazing Castle Visit

TRACY_R, Oct 2023

Bram, our guide, was very engaging and shared so much history around the castles, The Netherlands and it's connection to NY that made our trip so spectacular.

Loved the castles.

Fantastic day on the castle tour. Saw and learned a lot. Beautiful countryside and excellent lunch too.

Great Castle tour with Michael

Christian_B, Apr 2023

Michael was a great guide. Castle Muiderslot was the more authentic 13th century Castle. Kastel de Haar was the more ornate, but decorated in 19th century decor. I would definitely recommend. We also had time to explore some windmills.

Great day!

Christy_W, Apr 2023

We had a wonderful day touring 2 beautiful castles. We would not been able to do this day on our own and having an knowledgeable guide to drive us around and make sure we are comfortable, learning, and having fun was so great. Wonderful day and many beautiful pictures to remember it!

Magical Castles

Donald_N, May 2022

What a wonderful day we had visiting the two castles of Muiderslot and Castle de Haar. Our driver and guide, Bram, was fantastic. He was a lot of fun and we could tell he really enjoyed sharing this piece of Dutch history. The castles themselves were very different but both very interesting. Muiderslot is older, yet you can appreciate how grand it once was. Castle de Haar has been restored and is very elegant. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
