What people are saying about The Hague

There are no words to adequately describe how incredible this private tour was with Steve. The basics were perfect (on time, comfortable car, etc) but to spend hours with Steve and his deep knowledge of the Netherlands, art, politics, history...is unmatched. He is a true Renaissance man with whom we equally enjoyed in addition to the incredible, bespoke, tour he gave us. We even booked a second all day tour with him on the same trip. Yes, private may be more expensive but it's worth it. we stopped, shopped, ate and strolled. All according to our wishes & whims. I cannot rave enough - and feel truly lucky to have discovered Delft, The Hague, Geithoorn (the other tour with Steve) and more with our expert guide…and now friend. Thank you, Steve! We miss you!

The museum needs about a couple of hours to view. It doesn’t have a large collection but has some very famous pieces of art. Good to have the audio guide downloaded. Go earlier as it gets pretty crowded.

The tickets were sold out on the museum website for the time we wanted but we were able to purchase them through Get Your Guide. It was quick and easy.

Staff at the Mauritshuis were wonderful, they imparted interesting information about the paintings and were very helpful yet not intrusive.

Enjoyed this visit so very much, it was on my bucket list and met my expectations!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful exhibition.
