Overview

On this half-day private tour, you will discover Rotterdam and The Hague, our 2nd and 3rd largest cities. See the highlights of both cities together together with our passionate guide. A transfer between the cities is included.

First you'll see the classy streets of The Hague, our political capital. Walk past our parliament, the prime minister's office, royal palaces, foreign embassies and countless old facades. Your guide will bring the city alive with interesting stories and insider tips.

Next up, explore the dynamic port city of Rotterdam, our only city with a skyline (Manhattan on the Meuse), the city that rose from the ashes of the Second World War. See crazy architecture that is only possible in Rotterdam and visit a Cubic House from the inside.

You can do this tour both ways: starting in The Hague or starting in Rotterdam. You can also choose to be picked up and dropped off somewhere else, like in Amsterdam. And remember: It is you who determines the pace of this tour.
