This is a great tour,... - This is a great tour, especially if you enjoy history and architecture. It's also awesome for helping you to get your bearings in the centre of the city. Our guide, Ronald, was an excellent storyteller and injected a lot of humour into his stories. Definitely recommend!

Great tour with a gifted storyteller! - Oscar gave us a great tour! So glad we went on the day that he works (wednesday morn) so that we could enjoy his stroll through The Hague. Honestly, right now, there's so much construction, I was wondering if it was even worth it to go - but Oscar gave us such a great tour, I'm glad we didn't skip.

Excellent Walking Tour. - Very well informed walking tour by an architect. You don't cover a huge area as The Hague is the mosy densly populated area of the Netherlands (I learned on the walk along with why the government is in the Hague but Amsterdam is the capital) but you will learn a lot. The walk is free but everyone gaveca tip.

A Well Curated Walk - This was a very good orientation to The Hague. Our guide, Ronald, had many historical and current stories to share and guided us expertly. He was a wonderful ambassador for this city tour

tourist in his own country - Nice American (by the sounds of it) guide, knew a lot about Dutch history and The Hague. Pronunciation of Dutch names was really good. Also room for questions from the participants. Had a smooth pace, seen a lot. Too bad she didn't adjust her speech volume to ambient noise at some busy points. Minus / turn-off that she mentioned even before the tour started that tips were very welcome. No need, inappropriate. Maybe too American after all.

Unprofessional - tour didn't happen - No guide turned up so the tour didn't happen as about 20 people waiting for the same tour can confirm. Obviously I am upset about paying a booking fee for an event that didn't happen, but I am more angry that no message was received from the organizers so more than half an hour of our vacation was wasted waiting for someone who didn't turn up. How difficult would it be to send a message that the tour was cancelled or whatever? Totally unprofessional and likely to put me off booking with Trip Advisor or Viator in future.
