10 Tours in Maastricht That You Shouldn't Miss
Touching Belgium on its west and just a few miles from Germany to the east, Maastricht is the capital of Holland’s southernmost region, Limburg. A town rich in history and culture, Maastricht boasts two wonderful town squares: Vrijthof, with Sint-Servaas Church, Sint-Jan's Cathedral and many bars, cafes and restaurants; and Markt, home to the town hall and, on Wednesday and Friday mornings, a fantastic vendor market. The city’s Vestigingswerken, or old town fortifications, are another big draw.

My husband and I had a great time on the 90 minute city highlight tour. Raoul was a wonderful guide, and we learned a lot about Maastricht and the history of the region. The tour allowed us to see a lot more of the city than we would have otherwise. If you enjoy exploring a city while getting a run in, I can’t imagine a better way to do just that! I would highly recommend this tour!

It was a fun hunt to do with the kids (13 & 8 yrs old). If you book through Trip Advisor, you'll get a code. Then you need a create an account on the provider's web site and enter the code. It was a bit long, but used the helpline and it got answered right away, so was ok. Once you get to the first designated area, it is pretty easy to follow the next steps. We did it over 2 days and took about 1.5 hours each day (we took our time). I gave 4 stars instead of 5, since I would have appreciated a link with google map (or equivalent) to walk through the hunt and show us how to get from one place to another (would be a nice addition). :)

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
