Excellent, at own pace. Our guide Khalid was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He had an answer for every question! A very enjoyable way to start our time in The Hague!
Elfi was both personable and knowledgeable. She shared her love of The Hague and The Netherlands with charm, humor and enthusiasm. Highly recommend this tour.
Unfortunately, our tour guide was not engaging as she spoke in a monotone voice, and her knowledge of the Hague was limited in depth.
Elizabeth was an extraordinary tour guide, providing excellent insightful cultural, historical and architectural observations. Her tour was one of the best guiding experiences we have had. Also her personality was very engaging.
Eilf was a wonderful tour guide! She provided an excellent introduction to Den Hague covering the history, architecture of the buildings, and current government structure. This tour covers the town center. She made the tour so much fun that I felt I made a new friend by the end. Highly recommend tour snd Eilf!!!
