About this activity

Discover Delft and Gouda on a half-day private tour. You will get to know two beautiful historical cities that both played a major role in Dutch history.

First up, you'll visit Delft, a picturesque town full of centuries-old facades, squares, churches and canals. Discover the city of Johannes Vermeer, known for its Delft Blue pottery, the final resting place of the Orange family, and its top-rated Technical University.

Then you'll go to Gouda, with its charming town hall, fascinating weighing house and impressive church. You will explore the old city center, and your guide will tell you all about it.

You can do this tour both ways: starting in Delft or starting in Gouda. You can also choose to be picked up and dropped off at a location of your choice, like in Amsterdam. And remember: It is you who determines the pace of this tour.
