Toilets at the bottom of the Dom tower and the tour itself starts immediately. Brilliant delivery from our tour guide - stopped several points up the tower (thank goodness!) and spoke in both Dutch and English. Incredible views of Utrecht on offer and great information too. Fantastic.”

“I have lived in Utrecht for over seven years, but I am amazed at what I learned during Bram and Julian's tour. These tour guides, who do this as a hobby in addition to their normal work, have shown me new places in the city that I have been passing by for years. The stories they tell are particularly fascinating. It's also interesting that you walk past many quiet places where only locals come and you don't experience anything from the busy city center. I can recommend this tour to everyone, especially thanks to the enthusiasm of these two nice guides.”
