Tour description
Utrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands and is considered by many locals to be the most charming city: a compact medieval city center winding around unique canals with historic two-level wharves, now bustling with cafés. Home to the tallest church tower in the country, the city offers all the beauty of Amsterdam in a cozier, more intimate atmosphere. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s hidden charms.
You’ll stand at the foot of the magnificent Dom Tower, stroll along unique wharf canals, and then wander through lanes shaded by medieval churches and hidden courtyard gardens. Relaxed, steeped in history, and ideal for exploring on foot, Utrecht is a city that never ceases to surprise visitors.
