This tour was truly the best surprise about our visit to The Hague. The guide was most fun and had so much knowledge to share about the history of the city. We got recommendations about places to go and restaurants to visit and by bike you can just see so much more in less time. I would definitely recommend.

A fun way to spend the day once you've seen what there is in the main tourist city! The stops in The Hague and Rotterdam are relatively brief, spent most of it in Delft, which wasn't a bad thing. It was an old city with a thriving market and lots of history to learn about. A solid bus trip!

Great day in these 3 cities. Out tour guide was excellent. The bus was clean and spacious. It was great to see more of the Netherlands than just Amsterdam.

Varied and enjoyable tour. Great tour guide, working in most languages.

Would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was great.
