    What a great tour! Oscar was fantastic! He kept the whole group entertained not only with interesting history facts but also with a great sense of humor that made the tour of 2,5 hours fly in time. Highly recommend Oscar as your guide.

    Great Historical Tour

    Jim_R, Jun 2026
    Oscar was very good and very knowledgable about the subject matter. Have a new understanding of the history of Hague.

    Scammed by Viator

    Renee_N, Jun 2026
    You can get this tour for free. It is a free tour, but Viator sells it. When we got there, there was a sign that said free tour.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry if the booking process was not completely clear. We are definitely not a scam. The €3 is a booking fee to reserve your spot on the free walking tour. This helps us keep the tours running, manage group sizes, and reduce no shows, so the guide can give everyone a better experience. The €3 is not meant to be the full price of the tour. Our tours are tip based, which means you join the tour first and at the end you decide yourself what the experience was worth to you. The guide may ask for a tip, but the amount is completely up to you. So yes, if you want to join the tour, please book your spot, come along, enjoy the walk, and afterwards you can tip the guide based on your experience.

    Info heavy not much walking - good if that’s what you are looking for.

    Our guide, Joha, was incredibly nice and knowledgeable but we were expecting more walking, exploring, and details on the buildings, and architecture. We didn’t get too many steps in but he did relay the history of the area. The city in itself has a lot of cool old buildings with interesting history. We ended up looking up the history in some of these places on our own afterwards. Maybe Europeans don’t find such things as interesting because they are constantly surrounded by history, but being a North American I was expecting a little more.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you found Joha incredibly nice and knowledgeable. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not fully match your expectations. We understand that, especially when visiting from North America, the historic buildings and architecture can be a major highlight, and we appreciate your point that you would have liked more walking, exploring, and architectural detail during the tour. Your feedback is very helpful for us. We will take it into account so we can create a better balance between storytelling, local history, walking, and the beautiful buildings that make the city so special. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope you still enjoyed discovering the city. Best regards, Guided Tour Holland

    Reduan was an amazing guide! We had a great time. And the pace was perfect, a great experience for our first day in the Netherlands!

    Great tour with a gifted storyteller!

    Ardith_G, Apr 2026
    Oscar gave us a great tour! So glad we went on the day that he works (wednesday morn) so that we could enjoy his stroll through The Hague. Honestly, right now, there's so much construction, I was wondering if it was even worth it to go - but Oscar gave us such a great tour, I'm glad we didn't skip.

    Oscar was incredibly knowledgeable and a very nice guide. His passion for The Hague enhanced the experience.

    Decade for what?

    Sean_O, Jul 2025
    Not a lot of walking,lots of the city under construction so maybe not visible which is a bummer reliant on Google to fill visual gaps.

    Great tour of the Center of The Hague

    Jenny_C, May 2025
    Very good mix of walking and stops at interesting places. Ronald was knowledgeable, kind, and patient with the slower walkers in the group.

    Informative and enjoyable tour by Ronald

    Excellent tour by Ronald. Interesting sights, clearly explained with a nice touch of humour also. I have travelled to The Hague on business many times and now know so much more thanks to Ronald.

    Ronald was an excellent guide!

    We had an excellent guide (Ronald) who really made our tour come to life for us. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour fun with great tidbits about royalty who have led the country and living in the community.

    Anthony_M, Dec 2024
    Taco, the guide, was very informative, interesting and amusing. I would recommend this tour to anybody with a couple of hours to spare in Den Haag. Not a long distance walked either.

    We dropped out after 20 minutes.

    Barry_S, Oct 2024
    Nothing. Our tour guide is an architectural student and he just focused on architecture. He seemed mostly detached and simply bored and was trying to keep himself amused.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the tour didn’t live up to your expectations and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve. It sounds like the guide’s focus on architectural details didn’t fully align with what you were hoping to gain from the tour, and we apologize if this made the experience feel more one-dimensional. While our guides come from diverse backgrounds, including architecture, art history, and urban planning, they are trained to offer a well-rounded perspective on Amsterdam’s history, culture, and stories that appeal to a broad audience. It’s disappointing to hear that this balance wasn’t achieved during your tour. We're addressing your feedback directly with our guide to ensure they understand the importance of engaging with all participants, adapting their storytelling style, and delivering an experience that feels both enjoyable and insightful. The feeling you described of the guide seeming "detached" is far from the vibrant, enthusiastic atmosphere we aim to create. Your feedback is invaluable in guiding us to enhance our tours and train our guides in creating a more engaging experience for all guests. We’d love to make it up to you and offer you the chance to join another tour, perhaps with a different guide who can showcase the dynamic, multi-faceted aspects of Amsterdam we’re so passionate about sharing. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention. If you have any other details you'd like to share or if we can assist you further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    A beautiful day in The Hague

    Suzanne_J, Oct 2024
    This was one of the best city tours I have ever been on. Our guide Oskar was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge of the beautiful city, its history, its culture, its art and architecture was amazing. He had a wonderful sense of humor, encouraged and answered questions and kept a perfect pace. I could have listened to him for hours. Thank you, Oskar, for the best introduction to The Hague!

    Great tour!
