“It was okay but it said on the tour we will spend half an hour at The Hague but we only spent 10mins which is so disappointing 😏”
A small-group day trip from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Delft, and The Hague, with Royal Delft included and free time to explore.
“The highlights of the day were visiting locations not included in the price of the tour: the old and new churches in Delft and the Mauritshuis Museum (Girl with the Pearl Earring) in The Hague. These extras cost us an additional 60€ but it was impossible not to see these "on our own" time during the tour. The Delft factory tour was a bit disappointing and Rotterdam could have been skipped entirely. Our guide had basic knowledge of the cities and was probably very happy to let us explore in our own, which was fine with us. We understand that new guides need to build up their knowledge of local…”

“prachtige kerk, veel historie. de plattegrond die je meekrijgt geeft al veel info. de " rondwandeling " om het praalgraf is fantastisch gedaan. Middels videoschermen ( en ook geschreven tekst) worden historische tijdlijnen en personen besproken. heel mooi gedaan. De maquette van de grafkelder was ook erg mooi en verhelderend.”
Small-group day trip from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Delft, and The Hague, plus either Royal Delft live painting or Madurodam.

He was attentive and anticipated our needs at each stop. We enjoyed the small group tour and our tour-mates were fun to be with. The time to shop was just enough between the cities. Thank you!
