Immerse yourself in Utrecht's many ancient structures and museums of fine art. Utrecht is the home to the Netherlands Roman Catholic and, during the Middle Ages, Utrecht was the key city. Because of the low water level and the pathways by wharves UNDER the canal streets Utrecht is very different from any other Dutch citiy. Embark upon a delightful stroll through the streets and you will find a surprise around every corner. 

Great for those with interest in religion: the Catharijne convent, the national collection of religious art and objects.

Great for art lovers: Centraal Museum with old master paintings, great design and a full size ship from the Middle Ages.

Those with stamina: start  climbing Utrecht's gorgeous gothic 110 m high Duomo tower, look down in awe, stroll by the many shops that line the city's streets, or go venture down the wooden stairs to see the wharves and cafes. Either way you will be enchanted by the breathtaking panoramic scenery that surrounds you.  

Booking your private tour  ensures an enjoyable travel experience. 

Even though the large Duomo cathedral was partly destroyed in a hurricane, you will be amazed at the picturesque cloisters that remain one of the cities riches treasures. Utrecht has a swatch of color to satisfy every palette and together we will experience its inner beauty and history.
