Highlights of Delft
Join our guide on a 2-hour walk past every highlight of Delft. This is the classic tour, and it is a story rather than a history lesson.

Royal Delft + tuktuk transfer
Vermeer's Delft
Walk in Vermeer's footsteps, from where he was born to where he lived, and from the Little Street to his grave. You will see his work differently after.
Vermeer Centre entry included
Walking Dinner
A 3-course walking dinner at three handpicked restaurants, each in a historic spot, with our guide leading you through Delft between the courses.
3 courses, 3 restaurants
Dutch food & drink tour
Taste Dutch food and drinks at six hand-picked spots, and hear how old Delft became what it is on the walk between them.
6 tasting stops
Delft audio tours
Two self-guided walks narrated by a local guide: the city itself, or its food. Walk at your own pace, and both work offline once downloaded.
Want to join our non-private walking tour instead? Runs Saturdays and Sundays from April to September.
Combine Delft with another city
Why only visit one?
Delft & The Hague
Delft and The Hague in one tour. From palaces to parliament, you see the charm of our political capital and the old town right next to it.
Delft & Rotterdam
Rotterdam and Delft in half a day. Bold modern architecture and a dynamic city, combined with historic Delft: innovation and tradition in one tour.
Cube House entry included
Delft & Leiden
Leiden's historic canals, university heritage and relaxed charm. Delft and Leiden have a lot in common, and are still quite distinct from each other.
Delft Blue & Gouda Cheese
Delft Blue pottery and Gouda's world-famous cheese in one full day. Two cities, their history, and what each of them is best known for.
Cheese tasting & lunch included
Delft, The Hague & Rotterdam
Three cities that together tell the story of a nation: the royal and political heart of The Hague, the canals of Delft, the skyline of Rotterdam.
Cube House & lunch included
Old Delft, New Rotterdam
From the skyline of Rotterdam to the canals of old Delft, with a private boat tour and a Royal Delft visit. Two very different cities in one day.
Boat ride & lunch included

Get in touchFrequently asked questions
Do I need to book my private tour in advance?
The earlier you book, the better. Online bookings close 24 hours before departure. For last minute tours in Delft, Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden or Gouda, call or WhatsApp us at +31 6 46 52 69 11.
Can my tour start at a different time than the ones listed?
Yes. We offer flexible start times for all private walking tours. Add your preferred time in the booking comments or contact us directly and we will adjust the schedule for you.
Can I change the meeting point of my tour?
Yes. As long as it is within the city center, you can choose your own meeting point. If you prefer to begin at your hotel, a restaurant or another central location, simply add it as a comment during your booking and we will make sure our guide meets you there.
Can I be picked up and dropped off in another city?
Yes. We offer paid pick-up and drop-off within roughly 100 km (62 mi) from the tour location, added at checkout (Amsterdam always falls within that range). For longer distances, please contact us for a quote.
In which languages are the tours available?
We offer our tours in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
What is the group size for a private tour?
You book the guide for your group only, we do not combine you with other travelers. For the best experience, we advise a maximum of 20 participants per guide.
Do the tours run in bad weather?
Yes. Our private tours run rain or shine. If rain is expected, bring an umbrella or raincoat. If you prefer not to walk in rainy conditions, you can cancel up to 24 hours before the start time.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel your private tour free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. You can buy a digital gift card for any amount. The recipient can redeem it for any of the tours found on discover-delft.com, discover-the-hague.com and hollandcitytours.com.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Delft’s historic centre has cobblestones, narrow pavements and a few steps at certain stops, so it is not fully wheelchair accessible the way a modern building would be. Tell us about any mobility needs when you book, and your guide will plan the route and pace around them as much as the city allows.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes. Every tour is private, so your guide can adjust the pace, the stories and the length to suit children in your group. Just mention their ages when you book.
Can I bring my dog on the tour?
Let us know when you book if you’d like to bring a dog along, and we’ll confirm what’s possible for that particular tour.
How will I recognize my guide at the meeting point?
About a week before your tour, we’ll send you a reminder email with your guide’s name and phone number, along with the meeting point and time. If you don’t spot each other right away, just call or message them.
Do you take large or school groups?
Yes. For larger groups we split you across multiple guides rather than combining you with strangers or putting everyone on one bus, so it stays personal and everyone can still hear and ask questions. Tell us your group size and we’ll arrange it.
