Day trip from Amsterdam to the university town of Utrecht to explore its medieval center, ultramodern buildings and charming cobbled streets
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
The university city of Utrecht is only a quick 30-minute train ride from Amsterdam, and well worth the trip. Spend the day with one of our hosts exploring the quirky town in an entirely personalized experience catered to your interests.
As one of the Netherlands’ oldest urban hubs, parts of Utrecht (like the central Domtoren - Holland’s tallest church spire) date back to medieval times. As you can imagine, this makes for a lot of history.
Stroll down the quaint canal-flanked streets, stopping by at the converted warehouses that now boast places to eat, drink, sleep and dance! Utrecht has a vibrant cafe culture, and you and your host might like to pop into one of them for a rejuvenating brew before continuing your adventure.
Be enchanted by the subterranean wharves and canal bars as you taste, learn and shop your way through the city. With a host by your side, the day takes on an added air of authenticity as they offer you a glimpse into the true heart of Utrecht!

We had an amazing time visiting Utrecht with our personal guide, Annet. She was so knowledgeable, and a joy to spend the day with, taking us to see key landmarks such as St Martin's Cathedral (portion of it dating back to 630 AD) as well as lunch at a restaurant off the beaten path, down along one the old canal. Highly recommend this tour, especially if your fortunate enough to have Annet as your guide!!

Show moreI was at first taken aback that we weren’t in a car but the tour guide was convincing that we could walk. He was down to earth, fun and authentic. Just loved his wit. We were the three degrees he called us. He more than fed our shopping frenzy. Thank you until we come back!
