Overview

Discover two of the most iconic Dutch cities on this full-day private tour: Gouda and Delft, each with its own history and world-famous product.

In Delft, your guide walks you along the old canals and past historic churches, bringing the stories of Vermeer and William of Orange to life. You visit Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century, and you enjoy lunch on a historic square.

In Gouda, you explore the market square, admire the 15th-century Town Hall, and see St. John's Church, home to exceptional medieval stained glass. At the old weighing house, you finish with a cheese tasting.

Lunch, museum and church admissions, transfers and the cheese tasting are all included. You can start in either city.

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.
