newly arrived in the Hague and could not have had a nicer introduction to our new home city. Together with my 2 teenagers we spent well over 2.5 hours touring the city on our bikes. Els made it fun for us all, it was so insightful and honest. We got lots of tips on places for the teens to go and lots of interesting place to come back to and explore. I will make sure to do a walking tour with Els and highly recommend her to anyone looking to find their feet here or just wanting to enjoy the hidden gems in this gorgeous city.

Els was a fantastic guide. On time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. An added bonus is that she's really good at improvising: I was the only one on the tour (coronavirus regulations in Germany and Belgium caused all but me to cancel) and so she customized it for me by taking me to places that normally don't allow tons of people in at the same time. Hartelijk bedankt Els!

My wife and I visited The Hague for a couple of days and booked a tour with Els, and I am pleased we did.
Els was a great host/person/tour guide and historian in one, she was informative, funny, knowledgeable whilst being typical Dutch at the same time.
If you are visiting Den Haag / The Hague then I would highly recommend joining one of the Els on one of her tours. Book via https://www.elswheretours.com

We weren't so lucky with the weather so it was rainy and windy. We met our tour guide which was extremely friendly and fun. Sorry we can't recall the exact name but she is Canadian. We thought the tour was fun and had some fun facts about the city but as a personal choice we would have liked to hear more history around how the city came to be and some sort of chronology of the life if the city linked to the buildings. We still learned a bit overall it was a nice tour.

Hi! Your tour was with Joelle. You went on a Free Walking Tour. We do some history in it, but it is definitely lighter than a historic private tour, as that is what most people on these tours are after. I hope you felt free to ask your specific question to Joelle, as she has lived here in the Netherlands for a long time and studied the history and social/cultural topics regarding our country, thoroughly. She loves a good question! Thank your for joining our tour. Regards, Els

We had a few groups of around 15-20 people over for a training week in the Netherlands. On Saturday, Els organised a tour in The Hague, including a lunch and visit to the museum. Working with Els was a pleasure: very professional, efficient and good communication. And the participants really enjoyed the day that Els organised. They visited all kinds of nice places in the Hague and learnt a lot about its history and stories. Would certainly recommend this for any (international) group who wants to get to know the Hague!

Els is one of the best guides we ever met. She loves her city and you can really feel it.
She guided us through the centre of The Hague in a tour that was both educating and entertaining at the same time full of anecdotes and her typical dutch humor.
The tour lasted about 3 hours, but we wish it had lasted for the whole day
Thanks Els, we really hope to meet you again next time we will be in The Hague

5 stars-guide. She was born and raised in The Hague so that makes her the best option to go on a tour. She knows better than anyone how was the history and the sequence of the most important events in the city, she knows every little corner in the streets and she really wants to share that piece of information with you.
The evening was super fun, we learned a lot about the Hague, its history and some hilarious facts. It's a good way to have a general review of the city and then decide in which in where to do more focus.
Also pet friendly, I almost forgot!!
A pleasure to have taken a walk with Els!

SUCH a great tour guide😄We encountered her by accident and could join the tour spontaneously without booking in advance. She's so funny and really knows a lot and cares about her home town. She even volunteers as a part of a citizens' initiative to help the poorer district, so many people in The Hague know her. An authentic guide who is really connected to the city. Any time again :)

Els is an amazing guide! She definitely loves the Hague and enthusiastic about giving tourists her best!
The tour lasts for about 2,5 hours with a nice coffee break in between (the coffee place is amazing ;)). Els knows a lot about every corner in the city centre and tells fascinating stories. You see the town's majoc after the tour and want to return to the Hague again.
We enjoyed the tour very much!

Amazing tour! Our guide Joelle had a great knowledge of The Hague (and cracked some funny jokes along the way! ) We saw important buildings and monuments of the city and learnt some interesting history and facts. Stopped in the middle of the tour at a cafe for a 1euro! coffee. At the end of the tour Joelle gave us an awesome recommendation for a lunch spot. Would highly recommend this tour for everyone who wants to learn more about the beautiful city of The Hague.

Interesting tour to know more about Hague. Els was friendly and took effort to explain the different points of interest to us. Even offered to help to take a photo for the group. On top of that, she had also recommended local food which really helped us alot to understand the culture of Hague.
