We had a great time with Raoul running around the city center. An excellent way to get to know Maastricht in a short time. Our tour was even in English which we appreciated a lot. Next time we might come back to do the bigger tour. Thanks again Raoul!

and all 4 of us loved it - 2 Dutch and 2 Brits. Raoul was flexible and easy to make arrangements with, and then provided a great tour - showing us places we didn't even know were there, loads of information, good interaction, and all at a pace which suited us. Highly recommended
