Inspiring, smooth trip, nice to be out of the city for a day

Driver was friendly and informative and prompt. Car was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the castle and time to tour. Along with our first stop in Utrecht which is beautiful, we had plenty of time to stroll the streets, grab coffee and shop b4 meeting our driver and continuing on to the castle

Rushed, not great, expensive experience

Mixed feelings about this one. Our driver was fine. He wasn't a guide, so it wasn't that. It was that we felt rushed, and there was so much to see at both the castle and in Utrecht. For the cost - more than $500 - it just wasn't worth it.

Terrific day trip from Amsterdam

Yassine picked us up at our hotel right on time. Our vehicle was comfortable and Yassine is a great driver and communicator. The drive was pleasant to Utrecht, once there we walked a path that Yassine shared with us on Google maps. Lovely town with shops and restaurants without the hustle of Amsterdam. From Utrecht we drove a short distance to De Haar Castel where we toured the interior of the castle with tickets we purchased separately. It is beautiful. We didn’t walk as much of the grounds as we would have liked as we had already extended our tour by 1.5 hrs. All in all a great day trip from Amsterdam!

Operator response

It sounds like a well-paced and memorable day, and we're glad the flexibility to extend your tour allowed you to enjoy even more. Hopefully we will be able to assist you soon again.
