The historic royal tour takes you on a journey, exploring historic castles and palaces located in North Holland, Utrecht, and Gelderland.
Away from the crowded Amsterdam city, you will be taken first to the beautiful and grand 'Paleis Het Loo'( 75 -90 minutes drive). This 17th-century summer palace was renovated and reopened in 2022. You will be able to visit the Palace, Garden and the Stables (Entrance fees included).
After visiting the Paleis Het Loo, we will explore the lesser-known castles in the region of Baarn. These include Castle Groeneveld (garden/surroundings), Castle De Hooge Vuursche (view from the outside), Castle Sloterdijk (view from the outside), and a few others.
Finally, we will visit the 13th-century castle Muiderslot. You can enjoy the view of the castle from the outside and if time permits and if you prefer, you can enter the castle by paying a fee of €15 PP directly.
After the visit, we will drop you back at your hotel or any other place in Amsterdam.

This was an excellent tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see sites outside of Amsterdam. Our guide, Gopi, was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He gave us lots of information about the sites we visited along the way. His car was clean and he's and excellent driver. Paleis Het Loo was very impressive and is comparable to other top palaces in Europe. Despite its massive size, it wasn't overly busy with tourists, unlike most of the sites in Amsterdam. Castle Muiderslot was a much older, more rustic castle that was also neat to see. This tour made it possible to visit wonderful sites outside Amsterdam that would have been difficult to get to if we had to rely on public transportation.

We expected rain, so this seemed a good option. Turned out to be a lovely day in all respects. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable sedan at a comfortable hour. Our first and longest visit was to Paleis Het Loo to see the stables, a timeline of royal transport in two garages, a sleek new welcome/exhibit space, the traditionally handsome house, and lovely formal gardens. (The gardens abut a woods, but we chose not to extend our stroll.) We next saw several royal-linked properties from the outside; we would have passed only on the former queen's residence (I think it was) where you could only glimpse the guardhouse, but the nearby Kasteel De Hooge Vuursche was stunning. The day concluded in a charming seaside village with Muiderslot, a moated 13th-century castle that is fascinating to walk through. (Caution: the turret steps are not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues.) Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable throughout the day. Recommended.

Gopi curated a perfect day for us. He was so knowledgeable of the places we were seeing and the history of the Netherlands. He was patient and let us go at our own pace. It was such a lovely day and I would highly recommend this tour with Gopi.

An absolutely delightful day, with a perfect balance of guided tour and free-time to explore and enjoy on our own at each site. Gopi is knowledgeable, patient, and goes above and beyond to be helpful.

We enjoyed the castle and palace tours, especially the Paleis Het Loo where we were able to take pictures inside and roam around the gardens. Our guide, Gopi, pointed to us where we should look and which portions of the palace not to miss. Gopi was able to budget our time wisely and we are very satisfied with his service. He even provided wifi for us during our tour.

We loved the Het Loo palace and Muiderslot. It was a beautiful day and nicely paced. We would have loved a bit more time at Muiderslot but took our time with lunch. Gopi was a very nice guide and made our day pleasant.
