About this activity

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

In The Hague, your guide takes you through the political and royal heart of the Netherlands: the Binnenhof, Noordeinde Palace, the stories of the House of Orange and much more.

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

Itinerary

Het Plein

20 min

You will start this tour in the middle of Plein in The Hague, right in the city center. There you will learn about the Father of the Fatherland, Willem van Oranje, and his role in the 80 years war: the Dutch revolt.
Binnenhof & Ridderzaal

10 min

You will walk onto the square within the parliament complex and see the Knight's Hall. Here our guide will tell you about the significance and history of this place. With some luck, you might see some of our ministers (or prime minister) walking by!
Hofvijver

10 min

The Hofvijver lake is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office. You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny history.
Thorbecke Monument

10 min

The statue of Thorbecke next to the Hofvijver is quite interesting. This statue has to do with our democracy and the father of our constitution! You will hear more about it.
Lange Voorhout

30 min

This is the Champs-Élysées of The Hague. Quite a classy street! You will pass by multiple embassies, an art museum, a famous hotel, the temporary senate building, a statue gallery of the Dutch heads of states and some more interesting (royal) buildings.
Noordeinde Palace

10 min

You will see the working palace of the Dutch king. Based on the flag, we can find out if he is currently in the country. Let's see!
Grote Kerk

20 min

We will see the Grote Kerk ("Big Church") of The Hague. It is quite an uncommon tower. And what is that stork doing on top of it?
Statue of Johan de Witt

20 min

Another statue. This is the only head of government in the world that has been eaten by an angry mob! That sounds a bit weird, but you'll find out what happened.
Museum Prinsenhof Delft

20 min

After a short ride, you will arrive in Delft and enter the city. You will immediately pass by a historic site, where the Father of the Fatherland has been killed. You will learn about this.
Old Church

20 min

You'll see the leaning tower of Delft. Many famous people have been buried in this church, like Johannes Vermeer and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.
Stop 11

10 min

On our way down the Oude Delft canal, we will see the oldest house of Delft. It now has a heavily decorated facade, as it houses the Water Board since 1645. What is this and why was (and is) it so important?
Markt

20 min

On the market square, you will see Delft's old town hall, the New Church (with the royal grave tombs), the oldest shop in Delft, a statue of the Father of International Law and the place where Johannes Vermeer was raised.
Maria van Jessekerk

10 min

Another church. This one is Catholic. There is something interesting about its design.
Stop 14

10 min

As you make your way south, you will pass by the old synagogue of the city.
Stop 15

20 min

Next to the old weapons arsenal of Holland, you will also see a former office building of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), the biggest company to have ever existed.
