The Palais Is kept remarkably well, inside and outside too. It takes about 4 hours to visit everything: we loved to walk till the lake and we appreciated the silence and the full immersion in the nature. The gardens are amazing and all the furniture and the regal belongings are very well preserved. Do not forget to take a look at the regal cars and slides. The restrooms for the visitors are astonishingly clean!

Itinerary
Meet and Greet in Amsterdam. We will meet you at your Hotel/Place of stay in Amsterdam. We will give a brief introduction about the itinerary (15 minutes). After the brief, we will drive to our first location 'Castle Muiderslot' (about 45 minutes).
The highlight of our visit. The 330-year-old palace is now fully renovated and open to the public from 2022. The history of Paleis Het Loo goes back to the 17th century and it is probably the most grand palace in the country. We will explore the lavish Palace, Gardens and the Royal vehicles
Castle Muiderslot: The castle is one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in the Netherlands. Overlooking the Vecht River and what used to be the Dutch South Sea, the castle was built 700 years ago. The castle was fully renovated by the famous architect Pierre Cuypers, who was behind the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Central Station. A must-visit when you are visiting the Netherlands.
We will drive back to Amsterdam and you will be dropped back at your hotel.

Disappointed with Gopi, the guide, tour is listed as customizable, but he was very rigid with the itinerary he wanted to provide, was a little rude when we asked if we could trade for something different. In addition to the fact that we booked a year ago at a lower price and he messaged us a week before the trip telling us that we needed to change to a different tour because the vehicle for the other tour wasn’t large enough for four adults, however, the new tour he had us book still required him to rent a car but he rented a small car that did not comfortably fit 4 adults. ( but cost us $300 more ) Very disappointing.
Beautiful palace and castle. When we arrived at Palais het Loo we stopped at the stables and saw gorgeous Friesian horses hooked up to a lovely carriage. The gardens were wonderful as well as the Palais.
Well rounded tour. Very easy going. He had excellent areas to visit he still however always tried his best to get to spots you requested time dependent
Gopinath was amazing. Communication in advance was great. He showed up on time. Car was very clean. He managed all the details. We just rode along (and even napped a bit). The renovated palace & exhibits were amazing. And the medieval castle too. He showed us around with personal commentary and we did the audio tours too. All-around a great day! Thank you!
Gopi was an excellent guide. Extremely accommodating, informative, great time management, friendly. This was a delightful tour experience. A wonderful way to spend the day. I highly recommend it.
We had so much fun on the tour! We got to see the beautiful palace and castles and had an amazing history lesson along the way. Our teenage daughters thouroughally enjoyed the excursion as well.
This was an awesome day spent at several beautiful and historic sites! Our tour guide and driver was so informative, professional, and kind! I highly recommend this tour and would love to take another tour from this company!
This was a fantastic tour! Good was knowledgeable and professional. He was patient with my mom’s need to go slow and use a lift. He was personable and kind. This is a must do itinerary, but Gopi made it even better!
We had an excellent tout with Gopi. The car was clean and comfortable. We visited some interesting castles and palaces. I definitely recommend this tour if you want a reasonably priced private day trip out of Amsterdam.
This was an excellent tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see sites outside of Amsterdam. Our guide, Gopi, was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He gave us lots of information about the sites we visited along the way. His car was clean and he's and excellent driver. Paleis Het Loo was very impressive and is comparable to other top palaces in Europe. Despite its massive size, it wasn't overly busy with tourists, unlike most of the sites in Amsterdam. Castle Muiderslot was a much older, more rustic castle that was also neat to see. This tour made it possible to visit wonderful sites outside Amsterdam that would have been difficult to get to if we had to rely on public transportation.

We expected rain, so this seemed a good option. Turned out to be a lovely day in all respects. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable sedan at a comfortable hour. Our first and longest visit was to Paleis Het Loo to see the stables, a timeline of royal transport in two garages, a sleek new welcome/exhibit space, the traditionally handsome house, and lovely formal gardens. (The gardens abut a woods, but we chose not to extend our stroll.) We next saw several royal-linked properties from the outside; we would have passed only on the former queen's residence (I think it was) where you could only glimpse the guardhouse, but the nearby Kasteel De Hooge Vuursche was stunning. The day concluded in a charming seaside village with Muiderslot, a moated 13th-century castle that is fascinating to walk through. (Caution: the turret steps are not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues.) Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable throughout the day. Recommended.
Gopi curated a perfect day for us. He was so knowledgeable of the places we were seeing and the history of the Netherlands. He was patient and let us go at our own pace. It was such a lovely day and I would highly recommend this tour with Gopi.
An absolutely delightful day, with a perfect balance of guided tour and free-time to explore and enjoy on our own at each site. Gopi is knowledgeable, patient, and goes above and beyond to be helpful.
Classic Dutch castle with pristine experience reflecting life in the period. Guide what knowledgeable and engaging with great conversation.
We enjoyed the castle and palace tours, especially the Paleis Het Loo where we were able to take pictures inside and roam around the gardens. Our guide, Gopi, pointed to us where we should look and which portions of the palace not to miss. Gopi was able to budget our time wisely and we are very satisfied with his service. He even provided wifi for us during our tour.
We loved the Het Loo palace and Muiderslot. It was a beautiful day and nicely paced. We would have loved a bit more time at Muiderslot but took our time with lunch. Gopi was a very nice guide and made our day pleasant.
