Discover two completely different sides of Holland on this full-day private tour: modern Rotterdam and historic Delft, with a private boat ride, tickets, lunch, and transfers all included.
In Rotterdam, your guide takes you through the bold, rebuilt city: past the iconic Markthal, the old St. Lawrence Church, and the famous Cube Houses, one of which you step inside. The highlight is a private boat ride on the Maas, where you take in Rotterdam's skyline from the water.
In Delft, you step into the Dutch Golden Age: the Market Square, the New and Old Church, the Prinsenhof where William of Orange was assassinated, and Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century.
Lunch is included in Delft. You can do this tour in either direction. Pick-up and drop-off from other locations, including Amsterdam, can also be arranged.
This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have any special requests or an interest in a certain topic, just let us know.

We walk over a seemingly normal roundabout, but for the people of Rotterdam this place almost has a spiritual meaning. Of course it has to do with football.
