In the following points, you'll see just a few examples of the many attractions we will pass by.
The New Church, or "Nieuwe Kerk," in Delft is a historic Gothic church founded in the late 14th century. Its soaring brick spire, standing over 100 meters tall, is an iconic symbol of Delft. Inside, you'll discover a wealth of history, including monuments, tombstones, and the final resting place of Dutch royalty. The church remains an active place of worship and hosts cultural events, making it a prominent landmark in the heart of Delft.
The Beestenmarkt is a 60 by 50 meter square in the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The square was created by demolishing the Minderbroederklooster (Lesser Brothers Monastery). From 1595 to 1972, the square was the location for the Delft cattle markets, where farmers from the Westland region displayed their livestock.
The Delft City Hall, situated in the South Holland province of the Netherlands, stands on the Markt square, across from the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). The initial construction of the city hall began in 1200. It underwent renovations or reconstruction around 1400. Although it survived the significant city fire of 1536, it unfortunately burned down on March 4, 1618.
The beautiful Oostpoort is the only remaining city gate in Delft and undoubtedly one of the most picturesque scenes for your photo book about Delft. If you're in the center of Delft, it's definitely worth taking a stroll to see it.

Nice walk with clear and comprehensive information. Useful to do the walk at your own time and pace or even take a break.
Flexible points yes, but not a coherent tour - it was more that we just walked somewhere long, then listened to a much too long post about this and that in a monotonous monologue at the respective place. They stopped after the third flag. So loveless and boring.
Super well arranged. Nice walk and not too long stories at the flags. Nice to do at your own pace and valid until the day after also very great!
Wat leuk dat u de moeite heeft genomen om zulke aardige woorden te schrijven. Graag tot een volgende stad!
Easy to use on android mobile. Follows route easily. Lots of interesting sites etc. The app drains battery of mobile in few hours, but plenty of bars to stop at and recharge on the route
The gos warnings were not always accurate. This may be because after a while I realised that I was taking the tour in the wrong direction! It was not clear to me which way to start walking!
Thank you for your feedback, gps connection isn't always 100% accurate. It depends on the conditions at that moment and your phone. That's why we built in the opportunity to manually activate the stories. Our tours don't have a fixed starting point or a preferred direction. You can choose yourself.... Again thanks for leaving us a review. Glad you enjoyed the tour!
