    This was probably the most interesting thing that I have seen in Maastricht. Our guide, Henry, was extremely informative and funny, I just had such a good time listening to him!  more »

    Had a 1hr tour by a very knowledgeable tour guide (Henry). Impressive tour! Possible to combine with the castle tour or walking in the surrounding nature.  more »

    Great cave to visit! We did the museum (or art?) tour and it was a great to with a very good guide who told a lot of things about the art in the mine and some other things as well (general stories). And although the tour took about 2 hours, it felt shorter.
