Private tour De Haar castle & The Hague
Small group canceled so I did a private tour with Sarah. We went to DeHaar Castle & then to The Hague Mauritshuis art museum to see The Girl with the Pearl Earring + other Dutch art. We had a lovely visit at the castle and the beautiful gardens. A nice walk through Market Square to eat some lunch. Then a visit to the Art museum. Sarah is delightful, knowledgeable especially in art & history. She speaks excellent English having lived in the USA. And was a good driver too. I would take a tour by her anytime. 5 stars.

CJ, thanks for the lovely day, the many chats and the excellent lunch! Next time we'll do van Gogh in the Park!

Nice Tour Guide, castle was OK.
I got yelled at by the staff for placing my hand on a cupboard by accident because i was almost falling over. If you don't want people touching rothschild goods than cover it with tempered glass. I am sure they can spare some money for that. they can spend a million dollars on a chandelier which i can purchase for 1/1000th of the price from build.com, i am sure they can afford to cover their cupboards, instead of putting small signs everywhere that say, "DO NOT TOUCH"
No places to sit for elderly. My parents got tired from all the stair climbing. They are fit for their age, but still they are elderly and needed some seating. I'm sure the rothschilds can also spare some seating for the elderly visitors of the castle, as well.
Our tour guide was good for a beginner. She is multilingual.. she was extremely young and had just started with the tour.. i'm sure with experience, she will pick up and be even better. However, nothing against the tour guide.. I just didn't learn too much about the castle. I picked up the cards along the castle and googled info.
She had nothing to do with the castle nor their staff. So 5 stars for the tour guide 1 star for the castle itself giving it 3 stars.

hello, thank you for the review.
This must have been early in the spring as that was when our lovely guide worked for us.
We are sorry that you had a less than great experience. Unfortunately it is customary in museums that you are not allowed to touch anything. This is a foundation owned castle and their rules have nothing to do with its previous owners. To imply so is just rude. We will pass on the message to the management, as their volunteers can indeed be over zealous!
Each room in the castle has benches to sit and rest. Moreover our description explicitly explains that this is a castle with many stairs.
Once again, we are sorry that you did not have the best experience!

Princess’s Visit to the Castle
We had such a wonderful time visiting the castle and enjoying lunch afterward at the goat farm. Traveling with two toddlers isn’t always easy, but Eva made the entire day feel so special and enjoyable for all of us. Her kindness, patience, and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression on our family.
We will look back on this experience with very fond memories, and it gave us such a lovely impression of Amsterdam and the warm hospitality of Dutch Tours. Thank you, Eva, for making our day so memorable!

This was a must see...
This was a must see experience for us visiting Amsterdam and it didn’t disappoint. The whole family (teenaged kids) loved the tour. Ava was a fantastic guide. Getting to the castle early allowed for great pictures without crowds in the way.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words Ryan, I really enjoyed having your lovely family on the tour! Always super happy if the teens are so interested :)
All the best to all four of you!

Kasteel de Haar Tour
We really enjoyed our tour of the Kasteel de Haar. It's a beautiful castle and gardens complex with a fascinating backstory of how it came to be. There's a restaurant on the property and the food was delicious and the service excellent. Our guide Ava was very knowledgeable and friendly and brought the whole tour to life. We would recommend this tour, which is just about a 30 minute drive outside of Amsterdam.
Operator response
thank you very much John and Ina Mae, for your kind words and for joining me on the tour. Despite the very hot weather, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the day so much. Enjoy the cruise! All the best, Eva - Dutch Tours

Great Experience
The visit to Castle De Haar was a great experience. We were guided around the interior of the castle and then we were given free time to explore on our own and get lunch if we wished to. It was a perfect amount of time.
