What is the difference between this bike tour and the walking tour?
The private walking tour of Delft (2 hours, €199 per group) covers the historic centre on foot. The bike tour covers the same classic route and adds the Oostpoort, Agnetapark and the spot where Vermeer painted View of Delft, which are too far apart for a walk of the same length.
We are interested in Vermeer specifically. Is this the right tour?
This tour shows you his grave in the Oude Kerk and the spot where he painted View of Delft. If Vermeer is the reason you are coming, Vermeer’s Delft (from €275, 2.5 to 3 hours) follows his life through the city and includes the Vermeer Centrum.
Who supplies the bikes?
Hotel Arsenaal, where the tour starts and ends. Your bikes are ready when you arrive, and you hand them back there at the end of the tour.
Are e-bikes available?
No. This tour uses regular city bikes only. Delft is flat and the distances between the stops are short, so anyone who is comfortable on a bike can join.
Do I have to wear a helmet?
No. Helmets are not required by law for cyclists in the Netherlands, and most Dutch people ride without one. If you would like a helmet, add it as a comment when you book and it will be ready for you.
Do I need to be an experienced cyclist?
You should be comfortable riding a bike in city traffic. Your guide rides in front at an easy pace and chooses quiet streets wherever possible.
Can children join the bike tour?
Yes, as long as they can cycle confidently in traffic on their own bike. Mention their ages and heights when you book, so the right bikes are ready.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, please book at least a few days ahead so the bikes can be reserved. For a tour at short notice, call, text or WhatsApp us at +31 6 46 52 69 11.

Does the tour go ahead in the rain?
