What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Raveleijn show is widely praised for its thrilling live-action, impressive equestrian stunts, and captivating medieval atmosphere, keeping audiences engaged despite being in Dutch. While some find the story a bit complex or prefer older versions, the skill of the performers and the overall spectacle are consistently highlighted as major positives.

"Amazing show, kept the kids full attention throughout. Despite being in Dutch we were able to follow the show and had a great time - highly recommended."

"Today could have well been my last visit to this show. Apparently, plans are being made to turn it into something else. Hurry up if you still want to be able to talk about how things used to be.
Now that I mention it, this show used to be different. I found the previous version a lot more entertaining. A father who loses his teens and then the teens become the knights.
So, the story as it is has a few plot holes and some things just don't add up (like the knights putting away their weapons when they see danger is afoot), but this is not a major Hollywood production. It is enjoyable and has real live stunts in it that demand skill and preparation. Kudos to the actors.
Hate to see it go but curious about what's next."

"Very beautiful show. It's all in Dutch, like basically everything here, but it'd enjoyable, nonetheless, even if you don't understand everything fully."
