Had one of the best free walking tour experience here in Utrecht with Jeffrey! Learned so many interesting facts and cool spots. The energy he was giving was literally another level. You can tell the man loves his job. Would definitely recommend!! (Oh and better bring cash if you‘d like to give them tips because we went to the Netherlands cash-free and regretted that we didn‘t really tips properly for this amazing tour!!)
We took a Utrecht tour with Jeffrey yesterday and we really enjoyed it ! Jeffrey is passionate and knowledgeable, and also funny. The time passes very quickly in his company in a light and fun atmosphere. Highly recommended !
I took my two children on a walking tour of Utrecht with Jeffrey as our guide. I scheduled the tour the same day and easily made it to the meeting spot. Jeffrey was friendly and funny. The tour was a great mix of facts, architecture, stories and jokes! I learned a lot but was never bored. We got to go inside a number of buildings to see hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. I would take this tour again, hands down! Loved it!
