Looking for something different? Something original and interesting at the same time? A guided tour could be just what you are looking for.
On this website you can book great tours in the medieval city of Delft.
Visitors from all around the world come to visit the beautiful ‘city-town’ Delft . Besides the unsurpassed ambiance and atmosphere, this city offers Delft Blue, beautiful churches, the painter Johannes Vermeer, Hugo Grotius and our national hero: William of Orange. Ever wondered how Delftware became so well-known? Or why it originated in this particular city and not in a different one? These are just a few questions that the tour will answer.
Let a professional guide tell you the funny and interesting anecdotes and of course the stories and myths that surround the old monuments. The anecdotes in the tour, such as those in the life (and death) of William of Orange, make history really come to life. Hugo Grotius is also a famous inhabitant of Delft. This well-known jurist/scholar is renowned throughout the world for his work on international legislation. American visitors in particular all know his work, which is perhaps even more famous abroad than in the Netherlands itself. Delft honours Hugo with an impressive statue that looks out over the city-square and a beautiful tomb that lies in the New Church.
The ambiance of the city and the famous people who lived there make it easy to imagine yourself living in the 16th and 17th century, walking in the same streets where Vermeer, William of Orange and Hugo Grotius lived!
During the guided tour you will hear and see fascinating things.
Do not worry about language proficiency: all our guides speak English fluently (university-educated).
