Testimonials
“The guided tours that are offered are fantastic. It’s an entertaining way of getting to know the history and architecture of the city. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other Dutch language enthusiasts!”
Cynthia from Costa Rica
“The guided tour in The Hague highlights those little gems you will most likely miss while just walking around with a guidebook in your hands. And for every place Wietse provides a piece of local history. Definitely worth taking, for grown-ups and kids alike.”
Dmitri from Russia
“I highly recommend these walking tours. I recently took the English guided tours of The Hague and Delft. They were both entertaining while informative. The guide proved to have a deep knowledge of significant historic facts and savory anecdotes. He could reply with pertinence to the many questions of the participants, who were from very diverse countries, backgrounds and age slots. At the end of the tours, we were all given a souvenir and most of us gathered around a beer and “biterballen” to regain energy and further exchange on the visited town (but not only!). It is definitely a nice way to discover Dutch hidden treasures.”
Maria from Spain
