Things to do in Maastricht, Limburg Province: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours
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.

Pleasant and safe tours in languages NL/DE/ENG at 10.30 or 14.30 h. or time-flexible on request ( family or couple, 1,5 mtr. rule - covid-19 - , booking possible up to 3 h. before start).

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). :)
