Overview

Discover two of the most contrasting cities in the Netherlands on this half-day private tour: The Hague and Rotterdam, with a transfer between the cities included.

In The Hague, your guide walks you past the Binnenhof, Noordeinde Palace, foreign embassies, and the elegant streets of the political heart of the Netherlands, bringing the city's history and culture to life along the way.

In Rotterdam, you explore a city bombed flat in 1940 and rebuilt as a showcase of bold architecture. See the iconic skyline, visit the Old Harbor, and step inside one of the famous Cube Houses. Entry is included.

You can do the tour in either direction. Pickup and drop-off from other locations, including Amsterdam, can also be arranged.

This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have any special requests or an interest in a certain topic, just let us know.
