Stroll around Utrect with a friendly guide

Dan_D, Aug 2025
Lucy was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable, extremely nice, and very personable. She gave us a great intro to the history of Utrecht. It was great walking around the city with her. I strongly recommend her. She was one of our best guides ever.

Personal and informed tour of Utrecht

Michael, Jul 2025
It was a relaxed and informative tour of Utrecht. The city has a much calmer, slower-paced atmosphere compared to Amsterdam, with many interesting sites.

Viator saved the day

Kirk_H, Sep 2024
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

Great walking tour of Utrecht
