More than a decade ago, I discovered that my favorite thing in the world is connecting with people through places. Since then, I’ve guided travelers across South America and Europe, sharing stories, laughs, and unforgettable moments. More than 7 years ago, I moved to the Netherlands — and Utrecht completely stole my heart. From day one, it just felt right. The canals, the hidden courtyards, the buzzing terraces, the quiet little streets… it’s a city full of contrasts that somehow fit together perfectly. Big, but intimate. Historic, but vibrant. Beautiful, but real. When the pandemic paused my guiding life, I couldn’t stop exploring. So I took a job that kept me biking through every neighborhood, discovering the city from the inside out — its rhythms, its people, its behind-the-scenes magic. I got to know Utrecht not just as a guide, but as someone who truly lives it every day. This city means a lot to me. And I’d love to share that feeling with you — not just the sights, but the stories and energy that make Utrecht, Utrecht. Looking forward to meeting you and creating great memories together. Your guru, Will 🚲

Tour description

Trajectum is the name of a small Roman fort built in 50 AD to mark and protect the northern border of the empire. Together with this fort the history of this wonderful city called Utrecht begins to be written.

How did that small fort become one of the most modern and innovative cities in the Netherlands and all of Europe?

Join me on this walk, let's answer this and many more questions together and enjoy the most beautiful and interesting places that a city so full of history has to offer.

Don't let its age fool you! This place I call home continues to be a vibrant and lively city with a huge variety of cultural, recreational and gastronomic offerings that you cannot miss.

I'll wait for you at Vredenburg Square (at the intersection of Vlaamse Toren and Hollandse Toren) a few meters from the bus stop with the same name.

Remember, this is a drama-free tour, so alcohol, drugs or any type of offensive behavior towards group members or the inhabitants of Utrecht is not accepted.

I am very excited to meet you and create memorable moments together.

Greetings,
Will 🌷
