Overview

The political heart of the Netherlands and a classic Dutch market town, in one private half day of about 4.5 hours.

• Private guide, the same guide in both cities
• Transfer between the cities included
• Start in The Hague or in Gouda, or add pick-up from a location of your choice, like Amsterdam

In The Hague, you walk past the Binnenhof, the Hofvijver pond and the Mauritshuis, stroll down the Lange Voorhout and see Noordeinde Palace, the Great Church and the statue of the De Witt brothers. Your guide brings the city to life with stories and insider tips.

In Gouda, you step briefly inside the historic weighing house, see the town hall, the St. John's Church and the old fish market, and explore the old center with your guide.
