We enjoyed our walking tour with Paula. She was very kind and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the city and the university and churches. We enjoyed the exploring of the old and new canals and learned about the reason the canals in Utrecht are differently constructed from those in other parks of the Netherlands. Very enjoyable tour.

Utrecht walking tour

Gillian_H, Mar 2026
It was more entertaining than factually accurate. The guide was well spoken and friendly. I was dissapointed when I discovered that we had been misinformed several times on the tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Gilian, Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really glad to hear you found the guide entertaining, friendly, and well spoken, that’s always something we aim for. At the same time, we’re genuinely sorry to hear you felt that parts of the tour were not factually accurate. That’s something we take very seriously, as we always try to balance engaging storytelling with reliable historical information. Would you mind sharing a bit more detail about what felt inaccurate to you? Which stories or moments stood out as misinformation? Your feedback would really help us look into this and improve both our content and guide training. Thanks again for your honest feedback, and we hope to hear a bit more from you. All the best, Tim

This was a great tour of Utrecht. The city is a fun, close by alternative to Amsterdam. We learned a lot about the city in a short amount of time.

Not very good

John_S, Apr 2025
Our guide wasn’t very good. More facts would make the tour more interesting, and better speaking abilities would be helpful as well.

Don’t pay, this tour is FREE (but fantastic!)

Chloe_B, Dec 2024
NOTE: THIS TOUR IS FREE AND YOU CAN JUST TURN UP WITHOUT A TICKET. As with any free walking tour, tips are given at the end. Aside from this, really fantastic walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide!

Good overview

jackie_v, Oct 2024
It was a good, basic historical tour of Utrecht . My favorite part was walking along the canals and getting to see the inside of a house and the room that connects to the canal .

Our guide, Lisa, was absolutely great, so knowledgeable, lovely and had lots of recommendations. She really shared her love for Utrecht and showed us all the most beautiful spots. We did a few of her recommendations later and they were all great.

Interesting unknown places and buildings

Elriza_P, Jul 2024
The unknown church that you will miss if Jeffrey didn't show us. And the Belgium pub that used to be a church. And the story about Adrian!

Highly recommended
