Get picked up at your hotel by a professional guide that will drive you around. First discover Muiderslot, this 13th-century castle is one of the oldest in The Netherlands, a true medieval castle surrounded by water with the only entrance being a lift able bridge. The building was commissioned by Count Floris V in 1280, then restored to its former glory from 1370 and named an official Rijksmuseum since 1878. The Muiderslot castle has also been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
After, you will drive to Castle de Haar. Whether you visit the Haar for the park, the wonderful history, the exhibitions, the gardens or the beauty of the castle, you will find yourself in a different world. Learn about different times, different cultures, different figures. De Haar is the largest castle in the Netherlands that was once privately owned by the van Zuylen family and where its descendants still reside annually.
After the tour the guide will drive you back to your hotel.

Yula was a wonderful tour guide and a complete delight—lots of insight into each castle and a bonus trip to the heart of Utrecht! The castles provided an interesting look into Dutch history, its lore and its wealth. It is definitely worth your time.

Bram, our guide, was very engaging and shared so much history around the castles, The Netherlands and it's connection to NY that made our trip so spectacular.

Michael was a great guide. Castle Muiderslot was the more authentic 13th century Castle. Kastel de Haar was the more ornate, but decorated in 19th century decor. I would definitely recommend. We also had time to explore some windmills.

What a wonderful day we had visiting the two castles of Muiderslot and Castle de Haar. Our driver and guide, Bram, was fantastic. He was a lot of fun and we could tell he really enjoyed sharing this piece of Dutch history. The castles themselves were very different but both very interesting. Muiderslot is older, yet you can appreciate how grand it once was. Castle de Haar has been restored and is very elegant. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
