Private tour of Vermeer's Delft

Highlights of Delft (€160 per group, 2 hours) covers the whole city in general terms, including a brief mention of Vermeer. This tour is longer (2.5 to 3 hours, from €275), focused specifically on Vermeer’s life and work, and includes admission to the Vermeer Centre with an audio guide. Choose this one if Vermeer is the main reason you are visiting Delft.

Delft & Royal Delft (from €209) combines the general city tour with a visit to the Royal Delft pottery factory. This tour is about Vermeer specifically, not Delft Blue pottery. If you want both, get in touch and we can put together a custom combination.

The Delft audio tour (€10.49) covers the city in general and does not focus on Vermeer specifically. It cannot answer a question or adapt to what your group finds interesting. If Vermeer is the reason you are here, book this private tour instead.

You can cancel your private tour free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
