About this event

A quiz that gets your team moving through the city

Duration2.5 hours
Group sizeAny size
Price€30 p.p. excl. VAT
Meeting pointStatue of Hugo Grotius, Markt

Split your group into teams and follow your guide through Delft's streets on a two-and-a-half-hour trail that turns the city into a live quiz. At each stop, a canal, the Markt, a church tower, a hidden corner, the guide poses a question about Delft and Dutch history and your teams write down their answer. Some are easy enough for anyone to guess from what's right in front of them, others are properly tricky, so the set is built to keep both casual guests and history buffs on their toes.

Want it to feel like your day, not just any day? Send us a handful of your own questions, company trivia, an inside joke, a new-hire quiz, whatever fits your group, and we'll fold them into the route alongside ours. The trail wraps up with a winner reveal and a drink for everyone. Add a prize for the winning team or a plate of bittergarnituur to make the finish even better.

The Delft Challenge starts at the statue of Hugo Grotius on Delft's Markt square, right in front of the Stadhuis, before your teams split up and the trail begins. You can also choose a custom starting location, anywhere in the city center. Just add it as a comment when you request this event.

“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 had an outstanding tour with Robin, our guide. He was very knowledgeable of Delft, well informed on Vermeer and his paintings, and quite educated on Netherlanf history. He spoke excellent English, loudly and clearly. He was very articulate, patient, and welcomed our questions. He was a true gentleman and professional throughout the 3+ hour tour. It was a very enjoyable and educational day.”

Frequently asked questions

The Delft Challenge or Meet the Legends, which should we book?

Meet the Legends is a theatrical walking tour hosted in character by Delft’s own historical figures. The Delft Challenge is a live team quiz through the same city, guided but not in costume, built for groups who want to compete against each other rather than follow a story. Choose this one if your team likes a bit of rivalry.

How does this compare to the Walking Dinner or Walking Lunch?

The Walking Dinner and Walking Lunch are built around a 3-course meal across three restaurants. The Delft Challenge is built around a live team quiz through the city, finishing with a drink and a prize ceremony rather than a full meal.

How do we book this package?

This package does not have instant online booking yet. Send us your group size and preferred date, and we will confirm availability and details by phone, WhatsApp or email, usually within a day.

Can we send in our own questions?

Yes. Tell us a bit about your team, an inside joke, some company trivia, a new-hire quiz, whatever you like, and we will weave a handful of your own questions into the route alongside ours.

How hard are the questions?

The set ranges from easy questions anyone can answer from what is right in front of them, to properly tricky ones later in the route, so both casual guests and history buffs stay engaged.

What if our group is smaller than 15 people?

The rate is €30 per person, excl. VAT, with a minimum of €450 excl. VAT per booking. Smaller groups pay the €450 minimum rather than the per-person rate.

Is the price including VAT?

No, both the €30 per person rate and the €450 minimum are excluding VAT.

What is your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 72 hours before the start.

Can we add a prize for the winning team, or bittergarnituur?

Yes, both are available as optional add-ons. Let us know when you book and we will quote you a price.

Is this suitable for a large group?

Yes. Every team plays in parallel, so a bigger group just means more teams. For larger bookings we can add a second guide so no team is left waiting between stops.

Is this accessible for guests with mobility needs?

Delft's historic centre has cobblestones, narrow pavements and some steps along the route. Tell us about any mobility needs in your group when you request a quote, and we'll let you know what's realistic for your group.

Can we choose a different meeting point?

Yes. As long as it is within the city center, you can choose your own meeting point. If you prefer to start at your hotel, a restaurant or another central location, just add it as a comment when you request this event and we will make sure your guide meets you there.
