Overview

  • Discover The Hague and Gouda, two historical cities that have played a major role in Dutch history. Visit them both in this immersive 4.5 hour private tour.

    First up, you'll see the classy streets of The Hague, our political capital. Walk past our parliament, the prime minister's office, royal palaces, foreign embassies and countless old facades. Your guide will bring the city alive with interesting stories and insider tips.

    Next up is Gouda, with its charming town hall, fascinating weighing house and impressive church. You will first go inside the historical cheese weighing house and try some real Gouda cheese. Then you'll explore the old city center, and your guide will tell you all about it.

    You can do this tour both ways: starting in The Hague or starting in Gouda. You can also choose to be picked up and dropped off at a location of your choice, like in Amsterdam. And remember: It is you who determines the pace of this tour.
