Overview

Discover Delft in a single day on this full-day private walking tour: the canals and churches, the stories of Vermeer and William of Orange, the famous Delft Blue pottery, and the resting place of the Dutch royal family.

Your guide takes you through the historical heart of the city and into four of its most iconic attractions: the Old Church, the New Church, the Vermeer Centrum, and Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century. Lunch is included at one of Delft's historic locations.

This is a private tour built for those who want to understand Delft properly, not just pass through it.
