“What a great way to see and learn about Utrecht! Our guide Joeri was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. We sampled everything from salted herring to chocolate cakes…chased by an occasional Dutch beer! Don’t want to forget to mention, we also had the best French fries with traditional Dutch mayonnaise and Indonesian peanut satay sauce for dipping. Overall, we visited half a dozen shops to sample typical Dutch cuisine and learned history along the way. Highly recommend this way to visit Utrecht, learn some history, and satisfy your appetite.”
