This is our step-in walking tour of Delft: a shared tour in English that anyone can join. In an hour and a half your guide takes you past the highlights of the city, home of Delft Blue, Johannes Vermeer and William of Orange, with the stories that bring its past and present to life. It is not a history lesson but an engaging walk through one of Holland’s oldest cities.
Along the way your guide takes a Polaroid photo for every guest, so you leave Delft with a real print, not just another picture on your phone.

“We contacted Discover Delft on a Saturday morning and joined their English tour last-minute. We very much enjoyed it! We had a knowledgeable guide who was very kind to us. And the duration of the tour was just perfect for us. Thank you.”
“We want to book a city tour at the last minute. We called and emailed various organizations. Robin was the only one who responded quickly via email. We could go with some Americans. The city tour was fun, amiable and informative. Robin's English was very good. He took all the time for the tour and all the questions. Very relaxed. In the end, the tour took half an hour longer. We have had absolutely no rush feeling. Just a relaxing walk. Very pleased. Definitely recommended.”
“We wilen op het laatste moment een stadstour boeken. We hebben verschillende organisaties gebeld en gemaild. Robin reageerde als enige en snel via de mail. We konden mee met een aantal Amerikanen. De stadstour was leuk, amikaal en informatief. Het engels van Robin was erg goed. Hij nam alle tijd voor de tour en alle vragen. Heel relaxed. Uiteindelijk duurde de tour een half uur langer. We hebben absoluut geen haast gevoel gehad. Alleen een relaxte wandeling. Heel tevreden. Zeker een aanrader.”

“Informative trip, Victoria was an excellent guide and helped out with my parents who had mobility issues. She went above and beyond so my mother could experience everything in the cube house. At the end she gave us some delicious food choices to complete the experience. Easy walk from cruise port.”
