Overview
On this full-day private tour, you’ll explore two quintessentially Dutch towns, each with its own unique story. In Delft, the birthplace of Vermeer and home of Delft Blue pottery, you stroll along tranquil canals and past centuries-old façades as our guide brings the city’s history to life. From William of Orange to the Dutch Golden Age. Visit the Royal Delft Museum and the city’s churches, and enjoy a relaxed lunch on a picturesque square.
In Gouda, you’ll walk through medieval streets and over the lively market square, admire the iconic 15th-century Town Hall, and marvel at the stained-glass masterpieces of St. John’s Church. Learn about the city’s rich mercantile past at the old weighing house, where you’ll also enjoy a cheese tasting of Gouda’s most famous product.
This tour includes lunch, museum and church admissions, a cheese tasting, two short tuk-tuk rides, and transfers between the two cities. You can start in either Delft or Gouda. And as always: you determine the pace.
