Overview

Get to know Maastricht with your own private local guide, who shows you the historic center and the most beautiful spots in the city.

While walking, you visit the picturesque streets of the Stokstraatkwartier, the charming Onze Lieve Vrouweplein square and the famous Vrijthof square. The city walls, the Helpoort city gate and the Jekerkwartier are also part of the tour.

Through engaging stories and humorous anecdotes, your guide unfolds the history of Maastricht, from a Roman settlement to an important garrison town and an early industrial city. You also get to know the typical Maastricht way of life, known as the 'Mestreechter Geis'.

Captivating, entertaining and educational, for any group. This is a private tour, so you set the pace.
