As an architecture
historian and author of the bestseller Architectural Guide of The Hague (2011),
I now organize guided tours throughout the beautiful city of The Hague. These
tours are also available in English and German (Deutsch).
The Hague is a city with a special history and great architecture. It has
something to offer for everybody. It is the city where our government is seated
and where our royal family resides, so you can see lots of historical palaces
and ministries, as well as modern buildings. It is the city of justice and
peace as a home of the Peace Palace. Besides all of that it has a unique
location as one of the few large cities in Europe directly located at the
seaside. There are some wonderful beaches, a boulevard and fishing
harbors.
Walks that I organize in
the historic city centre are:
- Historical The Hague (all historical highlights)
- Royal The Hague (palaces and historic scenery)
- Shopping in The Hague (historical shops, the Passage ánd the best buys)
- Modern The Hague (area around the new build Central Station and ministries)
These walks take about 1,5
hour.
Costs are 10,50 euro per
person from 6 persons are more.
If there are 6 or less
participants I ask 65,00 euro for the tour.
Tours by bike or by
(oldtimer) bus around the city centre are:
- The Hague in the 19th century
- Country estates around The Hague
- A trip to the seaside Scheveningen (estates, boulevard and harbors)
- Modern Architecture in the early 20th century
These tours take
approximately 3 hours.
Costs vary, depending on
transport and participants, so I would be pleased to make an offer.
Custom-made tours in The Hague:
I specialize in
custom-made tours, tuned to the special wishes and needs of my clients. These
vary from a walk or a bike-tour, but can also include a day-tour or even an
entire program for a few days, including museum visits and coffee/lunch/dinner for
example.
The possibilities are
endless, so feel free to ask for suggestions and an offer.
