Who books it

For every kind of private group

Family days and reunions

Three generations in one group, or relatives over from abroad. The guide keeps the pace and the stories right for everyone, from grandparents to teenagers.

Birthdays and anniversaries

A walk through Delft as the centrepiece of the day, before lunch or ahead of dinner together.

Groups of friends

Old friends meeting up or a weekend away together, with a guide for your own group at a time that suits you.

Clubs and associations

Sports clubs, choirs, alumni and members' outings, often on one fixed date with a big turnout.

How it works

More than 20 people? This is how we do it

Up to 20 per guide

One guide takes up to 20 people. That keeps everyone close enough to hear and leaves room for questions along the way.

Bigger groups split up

Above 20 we add a guide for every 20 people. The groups follow the same route a few minutes apart and finish at the same place.

Or stay together

Prefer one guide for everyone? With a whisper system one guide can lead a group of more than 20. Ask for it at least a week before your tour.

Book early

For 20 people or more, four to six weeks ahead is comfortable, and longer in spring. We tell you honestly when a date is tight.

Private tours

Pick your tour in Delft

Each tour below is private and priced per group of up to 20. Booking for more people? The booking page adds a guide for every 20 and charges the group price once per guide.

Every tour can be guided in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish or Italian. With more than one guide, tell us the language early, so we can line up enough guides who speak it.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can join one guide?

Up to 20 on a walking tour. Above that we add a guide for every 20 people, and each guide takes part of the group along the same route, a few minutes apart.

Can we stay together as one big group?

Yes. With a whisper system one guide can lead more than 20 people, and everyone hears the guide clearly through an earpiece. Ask for it at least a week before your tour.

How far ahead should we book?

For 20 people or more, four to six weeks ahead is comfortable, and longer in spring. We will always tell you honestly if a date is tight.

Can the tour be in our own language?

Yes: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish or Italian. If your group needs more than one guide, mention the language when you book, so we can arrange enough guides who speak it.

Can we adapt the tour to our group?

Yes. Write what you have in mind in the comment field when you book, or send us a message: a slower pace for grandparents, a coffee break, or a starting point near your hotel or lunch spot.
