Overview
On this half-day private tour, you will discover Leiden and Delft. See the highlights of both old cities together together with our passionate guide. A transfer between the cities is included.
You'll see Leiden, known its stunning canals and classy streets. Step back in time as you explore its old center. The city that heroically survived a Spanish siege in 1574 is full of stories: it was the home of Rembrandt, the oldest university of the country, and the Pilgrim Fathers.
And you'll visit Delft, a picturesque town full of centuries-old facades, squares, churches and canals. The city of Johannes Vermeer is known for its Delft Blue pottery, the final resting place of the Orange family, and its top-rated Technical University. You'll be impressed by its charm.
You can do this tour both ways: starting in Delft or starting in Leiden. You can also choose to be picked up and dropped off somewhere else, like in Amsterdam. And remember: It is you who determines the pace of this tour.
