Very knowledgeable guide ( Karen). Friendly and helpful. Maastrict is a beautiful city with some hidden gems that we wouldn't have found without the tour.

Chris was our guide for this 2 hour walking tour. She took us to places off the beaten path and we learned so much about this historical, beautiful city. She was both articulate and passionate about her home city making this extra special.

Correctly named walk with a local.
It’s not a walk and talk with detailed history, it’s more a mixture of information about the city that you would most likely know if you lived in the area and took a general interest. Nice walk around.

Excellent historic tour of places in Maastricht tourists and many locals don’t know about. Very knowledgeable guide.

Our guide, Sebastian, was very knowledgeable, humorous and kind. Learned lots on this walk. The 2 hours went by fast.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback about the Free Walking Tour Maastricht. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your walk with Sebastian. He’s a fantastic guide who combines great storytelling, humour, and deep knowledge of the city’s history, so it’s lovely to know that came across during your tour.
It’s great that the two hours flew by — that’s always the best sign of a fun and engaging walk!
Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon.
Kind regards,

Most of the tour was centered around how the Maasricht was different from Netherlands,no WW2 history was provided ,nor Architectural insight..average
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We will make sure to take your comments back to the guide so we can improve on including more WWII history and architectural insights in the future.
At the same time, we’d love to invite others to join our Maastricht tours – where our passionate locals share a rich mix of stories: from medieval city walls and stunning churches, to fascinating wartime history and hidden gems that make Maastricht so unique. Every guide brings their own style, but our goal is always to give you a memorable and engaging experience of the city.

Our guide was Gilbert and he gave us some interesting information about the sights in Maastricht. Just the right amount of history details . Our group of 8 friends enjoyed it very
much.

Our guide Ronan did a great job, despite the rain that picked up halfway through. Maastricht is an interesting town, and we got to know it much better than we would have on our own.

Nice tour with a slow pace! The guide was good and polite, he gave us a little bit of interesting info on every spot we went to,
Carol_C, Jul 2024
Very interesting walking tour especially the old city walls. Tour covered such a vast area. It was a two hour trip but Marco extended it by an extra half hour. Very enjoyable and at a steady pace
Maria_J, Jul 2024
I arrived at the meet-up spot at 1:32 for the 1:30 tour and couldn't find the group. There was no contact information to reach out to the guide, and I can only assume that they left right before I arrived. I cannot say how informative the tour was otherwise, as I didn't have time to join in at a different time on my trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Maria, I am sorry to hear you missed the guide. Our guides start the tour timely and can't be reached during the tour, in order to fully attend to the group. I understand this comes at your disappointment, we are also disappointed by your rating after arriving past the starting time. I hope you enjoyed your time in the city regardlessly.

Sehr intensive Führung, hohe Kompetenz derBegleiterin, viele schöne und interessante Ecken gesehen, die wir so vielleicht nicht gefunden hätten.

Yaisa was onze tourgids.
Ze nam ons mee naar de oude muren en bijzondere plekken in de stad.
Ze heeft de verfrissende kijk van een
( kunst)student die hier nog niet lang woont, op de stad. Ze vertelde leuke verhalen.
Jan_M, Sep 2024
Een leuke rondleiding met een overenthousiaste gids.
Mooie plekjes bekeken. Leuke verhalen gehoord.
Zeker aan te bevelen
Aimee_H, May 2024
Veel geleerd over de stad Maastricht. Zo weet ik nu waarom de grens als een boog rondom Maastricht loopt. Je komt op plekjes waar je zelf niet zo, snel naar toe zult gaan. Leuk om het uitde mond van een echte Maastrichtenaar te horen.
