Overview
The historic royal tour takes you on a journey, exploring historic castles and palaces located in North Holland, Utrecht, and Gelderland.
Away from the crowded Amsterdam city, you will be taken first to the beautiful and grand 'Paleis Het Loo'( 75 -90 minutes drive). This 17th-century summer palace was renovated and reopened in 2022. You will be able to visit the Palace, Garden and the Stables (Entrance fees included).
Followed by exploring the lesser-known private castles in the region of Baarn (based on available time) . These include Castle Groeneveld (garden/surroundings), Castle De Hooge Vuursche (view from the outside), Castle Sloterdijk (view from the outside), and a few others.
Finally, we will visit the 13th-century castle Muiderslot. You can enjoy the view of the castle from the outside, and if you prefer, you can enter the castle by paying a fee of €19 per person directly.
Drive back to the hotel in Amsterdam.
