Climb Utrecht’s 465-step Dom Tower with a guide, learn 700 years of city history, and enjoy sweeping views from the Netherlands’ tallest church tower.
“Must do! Really well organised firstly. Head to tourist office and collect your ticket. Bags go into free lockers and then you walk over to Dom tower with your guide. Toilets at the bottom of the Dom tower and the tour itself starts immediately. Brilliant delivery from our tour guide - stopped several points up the tower (thank goodness!) and spoke in both Dutch and English. Incredible views of Utrecht on offer and great information too. Fantastic.”
