Hi, my name is Lucas and i'll be your guide in Utrecht!

I am a local from Utrecht who has been doing tours for many years.


Now where will we meet?

We'll meetup in front of Danel, a restaurant next to one of the biggest musical buildings in Utrecht. I will be recognizable by a big orange umbrella.

After a short introduction we will start our delicious tour!


Where do we go and what do we get to try?

1. We will first go and visit the market which offers us a freshly made dutch cookie called 'Stroopwafel'

You will see how they are made, from dough ball to warm cookie, and then it'll be handed to you to enjoy!

In the mean time you will learn about the castle that used to be here and why we destroyed it ourselves.

2. Next we will try local cheese. Our country is famous for it's Gouda cheese, so let's try some at the market.

3. We'll start walking further into the city center to visit a dutch 'snack wall'. We will go and try a dutch snack of your choice here. 

4. Then we will try a sweet pastry called 'Tompoes'. How to eat is is one of the most discussed things about this dish, but everyone has there own way. One thing is clear, you'll probably make a mess of it and that's the way we like it!

5. We'll quickly have a look inside a hidden church that is now a beer café. No foodstop here, but still awesome to have a look and to keep in mind for a bit of relaxing after the tour

6. After so many stops you might be filled up, but there is one we should not miss, it's a place were we can try 'bitterballen', a famous party snack in our country.

7. We will finish our tour back at the market with a dutch specialty called 'poffertjes'. Freshly made tiny pancakes.


Now we are back at were we started and you should be pretty filled up!


Can you join if you're a vegetarian?

Yes you can! If the food we try isn't already a vegetarian dish then there will be a vegetarian option that's just as good!


Can you join if you're a vegan?

Unfortunately not, because we'll try dishes like cheese and dairy pastry for which i don't have an alternative.

I recommend to try the vegan food tour in Utrecht instead, specialized in jummy vegan food, although it's not all dutch like this tour :)


What if it's raining?

Rain or shine, you will be fine!

The tour will continue unless there is going to a really heavy storm or something else.

In that case you will get a message about it before the tour starts.

        Mit seinem Spinnennetz aus Kanälen und Café-gesäumten Straßen ist Utrecht wohl eine der schönsten Städte der Niederlande. Und die Stadt mit Lucas zu besichtigen war, als würde man mit einem Freund herumlaufen! Seine Präsentation war nicht so stark einstudiert wie die vieler anderer Reiseführer, an denen wir vorbeikamen. Lucas ermutigte uns, Fragen zu stellen und zu diskutieren und war ebenso an unseren eigenen Lebenserfahrungen interessiert wie wir an seiner Stadt. Er hatte sogar eine Packung Stroopwaffeln dabei, die er verteilte, wenn wir Fragen richtig beantworteten. Wir hatten Glück, dass nur drei Leute an unserer Tour teilnahmen, also konnten wir uns sattsehen! Die Tour war entspannt und wir haben Orte besucht, die wir alleine sicherlich nicht entdeckt hätten. Sehr empfehlenswert!

        Lucas, unser Guide, war sehr freundlich. Mit sehr kuriosen Stopps, die ohne ihn völlig unbemerkt geblieben wären. Es hat sich wirklich gelohnt!

        Lucas war sehr nett und freundlich. Er hat uns eine sehr schöne Stadtführung mit allen wichtigen Highlights gegeben und uns auch weniger touristische Bars, Cafés und Restaurants empfohlen, um unsere Reise fortzusetzen!

        Die Tour war unglaublich! Wir haben viel über die Stadt gelernt! Und gleichzeitig hatten wir jede Menge Spaß. Lucas ist ein toller Reiseleiter! Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Touren mit ihm.
