Lucas was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He showed us hidden places in the old town that we could never have known about. Enjoyed his walking tour very much! Thank you Lucas!
Great introduction to Utrecht and its neighborhoods. Luka was very informative of its history with a touch of humor. He also had recommendations for lunch/dinner.
Lucas made the tour very interesting and varied - just the right mix between important facts and trivia. Always very entertaining and has provided a good atmosphere in the group.
Lucas is a spontaneous, fun guide, who knew how to hold the attention of the group with riddles and stroopwafels. We were with a foreign Customer who stayed with us for a week, and have also learned new things about our beautiful Utrecht, where we have been living with great pleasure for 33 years.
What a fun experience! Lucas talks in a relaxed but enthusiastic way, combining historical events with funny anecdotes. Highly recommended also for locals, you will learn a lot about your city!
A good tour, led by Lucas. He was easy to follow and shared interesting history and stories. Also good pre-tour communications and meet up directions.
Lukas was full if information and presented it in a fun and interesting way! I’d highly recommend his tours. (Plus he gave mini stroop waffels as prizes for right answers to questions!)
Utrecht is a charming and welcoming city. Lucas is one of the best guides you can find. The tour is very complete as you visit the historic center and also some more modern area. Lucas is very friendly, friendly and polite, he has a great knowledge of his city and you can see that he enjoys doing his job. He made a very participatory tour, showed us images of the areas we visited, told anecdotes and also gave us to try some typical Utrecht sweets. Besides, he kept an eye on us at all times. I recommend it one hundred percent, because yes the visitor gets an idea of the city, its streets, squares, parks and canals, of illustrious men who lived or had a stay in it, and of its historical importance.
Lucas was a great tour guide! Very nice and authentic! He told us a lot of interesting history, funfacts and recommendations and made sure we had a nice time. I would definitely recommend this tour :)
We booked the food tour with Lucas and had some great insights into Utrecht and Dutch foods! It‘s the perfect combination of snacks and information about the city, making time pass really quickly! Lucas is a wonderful guide, friendly, welcoming and knows a lot about the city. Definitely a recommendation for anyone visiting Utrecht! :-)
