Overview of your Maastricht tour

Maastricht came into existence as a Roman settlement. Its bridge over the Meuse river became a pivot in the city's history. In the middle ages Maastricht drew pilgrims to the grave of St Servatius. Towers of the many monastaries, chapels, basilica's and parish churches still dominate the monumental sihouette of the city. I will lead you to the most beautiful spots in the historic centre, including the Onze Lieve Vrouweplein (square) and basilica, the town ramparts, the parks, the Vrijthof with the monumental Basilica of St. Servatius and the Bonnefantenmuseum (when open). PLEASE NOTE: all my tours are CUSTOM MADE. We can add more hours, private transportation, pick up from Amsterdam, extra places to visit, whatever you would like to see, eat, or do. Please tell me your preferences and I'll prepare the perfect tour for you. 4 hours walking tour in Maastricht.
