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 Center, 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. You set the pace, and if you want to customize the day, just let us know.

2. Armamentarium
You will make your way to the south of the city center. We will pass by a large former weapons Armory, and we'll see an office of the Dutch East India Company.

Through the Beestenmarkt, and past the former house of Johannes Vermeer, you will now reach Delft's market square. On this square, you will find The second-tallest church of The Netherlands!

Duration: 20 mins

Duration: 25 mins
6. Vermeer Centrum Delft
When you say Delft, you say Johannes Vermeer. The master of light was born and raised here, and he is buried in Delft too. To learn a bit more about his life and his work, you will visit the Vermeer Centrum. There you will find copies of all his work.

Duration: 15 mins
11. Royal Delft - Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles
