On this self-guided GPS audio tour you'll see the beautiful old city centre, where kings reign and some of the world's most famous art is displayed. We'll begin our journey at the Mauritshuis and find out how The Hague grew from a small settlement to the centre of political power in the Netherlands, and end the tour with a stroll along the country's most famous avenue. Along the way, we'll stop by a square that was the site of many executions, a notorious former prison, and I'll point out the best fish-shack in town. The Hague forms a rich part of the Netherlands' history and the characters that people it. Join me to uncover some of these people and their stories. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

This was great--an app-based GPS guided walking tour. Head to the starting point, pop in an earbud, hit play, and put away your phone. The end of each sound file gives you clear directions on where to walk next ("walk to the left of the gate, and walk down the street until you get to the bridge...

Great idea and all very clear. One current problem … the Binnenhof (Parliament old complex) is shut for refurb. This drives a coach and horse block through the itinerary. Not all is lost however. You can listen but not see and pick the physical tour up at the Fish Stack by the water … really rec...

Definitely worth the price! The app had a great UI/UX (compared to other ones we’ve tried) and the orator is local and had a great vibe.
