Your Own Hague. Behind The Scenes of The Royal City
Description
The Hague is a marvelously unique blend of royal history, palace secrets, medieval traditions, and legends surrounded by high-rise buildings and futuristic urbanism. This city is multifaceted. Together, we will take a journey through the ages - from the times of knights, minstrels and beautiful ladies, from what started as a small village, albeit the most aristocratic one in the world, to an influential political capital. We'll understand why one can't take his eyes off the modern architecture of The Hague, but of course, we won't forget about innovation and street art. More tours(food, history, street art, architecture, modern art, museums, small towns, countryside, by bikes, ships, balloons, photo tours) in the Netherlands on Snurk.Travel.

The literal birthplace of the Hague where each building serves as a living monument and a piece of art.
If a person lived in the Hague for more than a week – there is a good chance they saw Dutch prime minister. We will test our luck and sneak into his working office if we can see him as well!
The oldest café/inn in the Netherlands (1423). Originally serving knights and travellers Goude Hooft has now shifted to regular citizens.
First place in the Netherlands where shopping as we know it today came to be. Inspired by Parisian architecture is still as impressive as it used to be in the XIX century.
The smallest house in the Hague. We should be careful not to miss this one. Only 183cm wide!
You may know Netherlands as a humble place, but Hotel Des Indes will prove that the Hague is made from a different material. Shinning beauty which is not afraid of demonstrating its wealth.

The Hague is a Royal city of Netherlands because for four centuries City has been home and workplace Royal family. The live in the Paleis Noordeine in the heart of the city. To make the best use of your time please choose stay in the Centrum district of The Hague. Then you can visit all the places on your own. May be IBIS Styles a good choice to stay and see all that Places. Biennehof is the in Center of political activity inThe Netherlands where monumental gate ushers you into the Dutch Parliament. Though ruled by the King Wilhelmina the administrated under democracy through representatives of the Dutch Parliament. Very imposing Parliament by the lake side is a spectacle to watch in the night. Famous paintings of a Girl with a Pearl Earrings by Johannas Vermeer , Anatomy lessons by Doctor Nicolas by Rembrandt, Garden of Eden by Jan Brueghel and Peter Rubén’s etc. are star attraction in the Museum Mauritshuis . The House belonged to Maurits , a nephew of King Oranje , who made money in slave trade and enriched himself enormously. Shopping in styles in the High street Passage and Pronsrstaat. Miniature Museum- Maduroden gives birds eye view of the Netherlands. And a visit to Escher Museum is creative by illusion and fantasies. International Court of Criminal Justice and International Court of Justice are also to be seen in The Hague. Enjoy your visit …

Together with my friends we took a guided tour around The Hague - was sooo nice! We've walked around the city center, walked into hidden gardens, local secret places, unusual museums and tiny narrow streets. I dont want to reveal all secrets - just take the tour and enjoy!! highly recommended!
We appreciate your review! Thanks a lot!
I liked the tour very much!We were not very lucky with the weather, but it was very interesting. The guide tells fascinating, not boring, answers all questions of interest. Highly recommended, especially for Ukrainian tourists)
We are happy you could enjoy the tour despite the weather :)
It was an interesting walk in the city centre with a guide. He told us different intriguing stories about the inhabitants of the area, showed some hidden architectural gems, explained the historical background of the buildings, and gave us some tips on where to have dinner or coffee. For me, the excursion lacked of the history of the city and the information about the Hague's role in the history of the Netherlands but I was late for the tour and, probably, I did not hear everything, and I am also keen on history.
Dear Irina, Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Regarding the content, we have a lot of historical tours, but this one was focused on the modern life of Den Haag, which we mentioned in its description. However, the introduction part of the tour was dedicated to history. We are sad you missed it :(. We also love history and will be happy to share it with you on our other tours in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Horn, Dordrecht, Delft, Haarlem, Leiden, Utrecht, or other cities. We hope to see you again!
Hello there. I've been on two tours organized by your company and both times the topic of the war on the territory of Ukraine was raised. Your excursions are aimed at highlighting the history and culture of the Netherlands as it relates to the war is a mystery to me. If you are interested in customers with only certain views, please indicate this in the tour description, in order to avoid negative impression of customers. Thank you.
Здравствуйте, Илья! На наших экскурсиях мы безусловно рассказываем не только об истории любой страны, где мы работаем, но и о современности. Тема войны, развязанной РФ против Украины, безусловно волнует жителей Нидерландов и занимает огромное место в современном информационном поле. И рассказывать об этом на экскурсиях мы безусловно будем и впредь. Особенно на экскурсии по политическому центру страны, которую вы выбрали. Каждого клиента мы письменно предупреждаем, что мы не готовы проводить экскурсии людям, поддерживающим войну РФ против Украины. Сожалеем, что вы не восприняли это уведомление всерьез.
