⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“What a magical afternoon in the Netherlands exploring both The Hague and the charming town of Delft on our private walking tour with our delightful guide Joris. He really brought both cities to life and was most informative on all. It was a truly memorable experience and my husband and I are already talking about going back to stay in Delft on our next trip back. Great day, tour and guide Joris : )”

Tour description
Get to know The Hague and Delft, two historical cities that are right next to each other. From the political heart of the Netherlands to one of the most iconic old towns. You’ll get two private, 2-hour walking tours past the highlights of each city, with a transfer in between.
During this tour, you step back in time and dive into the Dutch golden age. From the origins of the Netherlands as a country, to the stories behind the facades of The Hague and Delft. Expect old churches, cozy squares, charming canals and more. From palaces to parliament and from William of Orange to Johannes Vermeer: you’ll see and hear it all.
This is a private tour, so the pace is entirely yours. The tour usually takes around 4.5 hours, but our guides are flexible and happy to adapt the program to your interests and schedule.
