City tour of The Hague: discover the city in a real Thai tuk tuk
Climb aboard an authentic Thai tuk tuk and see The Hague as you’ve never seen it, to the unmistakable putt-putt of a genuine petrol tuk tuk. In one to three hours you ride past the Binnenhof, the Peace Palace, Noordeinde Palace and the Grote Kerk, waving to the café terraces from the back seat. At the stops your driver tells you about the city in English, or in Dutch or simple German if you prefer. Showing visitors around since 2008.
✓ Genuine tuk tuks from Thailand · ✓ Always with a driver · ✓ 1 to 3 hours, you choose · ✓ Picked up wherever suits you · ✓ Also with a forest walk · ✓ All year round, rain or shine
How the city tour works
- Choose your tour. Anything from one to three hours, or the forest walk tour.
- Agree where we pick you up. Coming by car? Meet us at the poffertjes stall on the Malieveld. By bus: Hotel Corona. By train: The Hague Central station. Or we collect you from your hotel.
- Hop in and enjoy. Your driver does the driving, and at the stops where you get out for a moment, they tell you the story behind the place.
