A 4-day city trip to Utrecht and Gouda for your group: the Dom Tower and Utrecht's two-level canals, De Haar Castle, Gouda cheese and the Witches' Weighing House in Oudewater.

In the heart of the Netherlands, Utrecht is dominated by the Dom Tower, the country's tallest church tower, and crossed by the Oudegracht, whose lower wharves house former cellars turned into terraces. Just outside the city, De Haar Castle spreads its neo-Gothic towers in the middle of a vast park. Your group also discovers Gouda, its market square and its cheese, and Oudewater, famous for its Witches' Weighing House.
