The experience
Muiderslot, built in 1285 and surrounded by water and historic gardens, opens the day. Your guide takes you through this 700-year-old castle (one of the oldest and best-preserved in the Netherlands), and explains its long, turbulent history and the defensive strategy that shaped it. From there, the route follows rivers past country mansions and windmills on the way inland, stopping at a family-owned cheese farm along the countryside stretch before reaching Utrecht.
In Utrecht, your guide leads a walking tour of the city centre on foot. You'll see the towering 15th-century Domtoren, the Pope's House, and the distinctive canals with their unique medieval cellars and yards: features found nowhere else in the world. Utrecht is the fourth-largest city in the Netherlands and birthplace of the Dutch Republic, yet it remains bizarrely under-visited. Lonely Planet ranked it in the top 10 of the world's most unsung places in 2012. The walking portion takes in hidden cloisters and the elaborate tree-lined canal system that defines the city.
Because this is a 100% private tour, your guide and vehicle are yours alone for the full day. No other guests join the group, and the entire itinerary is built around your party's pace and interests. The air-conditioned vehicle handles all transport between stops, and pickup is included from your Amsterdam location.
