Not far from the city center, Utrecht’s Lombok neighborhood is famous for its Ulu Camii mosque and Kanaalstraat shops. But there’s much more to Lombok’s rich, dynamic migration heritage to learn about and experience.
Our 2-hour English-language* interactive guided walk connects you with the migration heritage of Utrecht’s Lombok neighbourhood. Each stop opens up a new question about how migration is lived and understood in the city.
See below for info about our free monthly walks and private group walks and experiences.

Join our next free tour on the first Saturday of the month: 4 July 2026
We offer one free guided walk each month, supported by the Municipality of Utrecht. These walks usually take place on the first Saturday of the month and are open to Utrecht residents who would like to join a mixed group of participants.
The walks are a great opportunity to get to know people from different backgrounds living in the city.

Pricing for our private group walks
As part of our commitment to equity and accessibility, Migrantour Utrecht uses a sliding scale fee model for our tours and workshops. We have 3 pricing tiers to accommodate a variety of budgets, recognising that financial wealth is a resource that historically has not been equitably distributed.
Organisations, institutions and individuals who have access to more resources pay higher rates, allowing us to offer lower rates to lower-resourced organizations and individuals. The three different pricing tiers do not correspond to any differences in your group’s tour or workshop experience.
Solidarity rate - 140 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)
Intended for organizations and individuals with highest need and less access to institutional, social, and cultural resources
Smaller and lower-resourced organizations, grassroots and newly established organizations, organizations led by members of the communities they serve and impact, and organizations whose work is focused on disrupting the status quo
Sustain rate - 220 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)
Our base rate - paying at this rate provides full compensation for our work, including the time, labour and expertise involved in developing and providing our offerings
Educational institutions such as schools and universities
Organizations that consider themselves to be somewhere in between those in the Solidarity and Pay-It-Forward categories
Pay-It-Forward rate - 300 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)
Intended for organizations and individuals with more access to resources. Payments at this rate allow us to offer lower rates to those with less access to resources
Large and established institutions Organizations who receive substantial funding from large established foundations, legacy funding entities, or government resources For-profit companies or corporations
If these pricing options still pose a barrier to you or your organization participating in our tours and workshops, please contact us at migrantourutrecht@devoorkamer.org to discuss barter and payment plan options.

If you're interested in adding an experience and/or catering to your booking, let us know in your booking inquiry email. We can develop a workshop or catering tailored to your (organisation's) budget, needs and interests. Also, check out our special packages!
