“Ok”
It’s an ok tour. She’s good but the information is very superficial and she doesn’t explain a lot about the history of customs.

“Great tour! Not so great end!”
We had a wonderful walking tour, the way it was organized and explained all were appreciated.
However, what is not appreciated is that at the end of the tour, the guide asked for a voluntary payment to support the cause, which is fine. Still, the tonality changed completely when we didn't want to pay (whatever the reason), as the whole idea behind this was that it was intentionally a "free tour". We were given a judgemental look and mildly taunted by the guide claiming that they have now to bear some "platform cost" of 2 Euros.
We are more than happy to pay for such tours; we do not want anything for free, especially for services such as this. Either you inform us upfront about costs, and if seeking voluntary payments, then accept it without frowning when one doesn't want to pay, rightfully so!

Els Tool us on an interesting and entertaining tour through her City Den Haag.

My Italian boyfriend and I went on this tour with Els and it was a lot of fun! We were in a small group of 8 people and Els took the time to explain the story of the Hague and she took us all around the best spots. Even though I am Dutch, I had never been to the Hague and the way Els described the city made me really enjoy it! Can definitely recommend this tour. A small coffee break was included and there was enough room to ask questions. She really has an answer to every question. She also gave recommendations on where to eat pastries and go out for dinner. Loved this experience! Thank you, Els!

“Not the best tour ”
Personally, didn’t like it.
The Hague has a lot of potential and the tour was very basic. Not a lot of information or explanations about the places. Coffee break too long. Not my best experience
Marcela Pardo (English)
2020-08-24 17:19:53
“Terrible guide”
Our guide, Daniel, was not knowledgeable at all, he was telling random stories with seemingly little connection, very little actual (or accurate) history of the Netherlands, he constantly forgot parts of stories and it just seemed overall incoherent. he mentioned a couple times it was his morning (at 2pm) and stopped for coffee and a donut on the tour. He mixed up all the church names (he really had no idea or couldn’t remember). He asked us to fill in the blanks when he couldn’t remember historical facts, or just skipped over it entirely. You could tell he meant well and he was a nice guy, but we’ve been on many walking tours around the world and this was by far the worst one ever. Would never complain like this if it wasn’t truly bad, but it was just a massive waste of time. He definitely needs some more training!
