During our walking tour we will walk along the Prinsenhof and see the statue of William of Orange in the courtyard. Your guide will tell you about William of Orange, the Father of the Fatherland.
The heart of the city where we see how Delft Blue is made and the master painter is at work. Here also the medieval trading center; such as the weigh house, the butter house, the meat hall and the fish banks.
via the courtyard of Grace to the Horse Market and the courtyard of Pauw
The old church dates from the 13th century, making it the oldest church in Delft. Known for its leaning tower with the nickname 'Leaning Jan'. Johannes Vermeer, Piet Hein and Anthonie van Leeuwenhoek are buried in this church. A guided tour of the church is available on request. Admission is not included
The town hall located on the market opposite the Nieuwe Kerk is a beautiful building in the Neo-Renaissance style. Renovated by Hendrick de Keyser, who also made the mausoleum of William of Orange. If possible, we will take a look at the entrance hall, where it can still be clearly seen how earlier the judiciary took place. The oldest tower in Delft, Het Steen, is also located here. This tower served as a prison and the murderer of William of Orange was also locked up here.
A cozy square with many terraces where you can relax all year round.
The only remaining city gate of Delft. A unique photo spot!
The Hof van Klaeuw was founded by the owners of the brewery 'de Klaeuw' in 1605. The houses are inhabited by unmarried Roman Catholic women. The courtyard is an oasis of peace and a surprise behind the gate.

On the second visit, the meals were much more varied and very good (than during our first visit) A major downside for the pool, as one person was swimming in a burkini, while the sign hanging on the wall states that swim shorts are prohibited for men. There should be a person to monitor these deviations.

The customized itinerary provided by Krisa Travels was perfect for our family trip. Every detail was taken care of, making our vacation stress-free and enjoyable.

During our 2 day stay, we felt that every need of ours was taken care of by the staff especially Reception Ravi Tiwari The place is luxurious and very peaceful as it is very close to Bhopal Market. Very good vibes. Whole staff was kind and generous and welcoming. The room size is big enough and has a very good view. I really like this hotel I recommend to all my staff to stay here at Zip Bhopal hotel, Thanks again Ravi Tiwari ji.
Wonderful tour of Delft! Yvette is an excellent tour guide and both our 8 year old and 15 year old enjoyed this. Highly recommended.
Niels was an excellent tour guy. Out of the 10 tour guides we’ve had in Europe he w as the best. Knowledgeable and very accommodating
We enjoyed our day trip to Delft and could have spent a another day roaming the streets, visiting the museums, and sampling the numerous bakeries and restaurants the city has to offer. Yvette met us soon after we arrived by train and provided an in-depth overview of Delft's interesting history and the overall impact it has had on the Netherlands. We couldn't have hoped for a better guide. Yvette was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond by providing recommendations for additional sites to see across the Netherlands and how to make the most of our day trip to Delft.
Our guide was fantastic. She was friendly and so smart. She answered every question and stayed longer than she needed to.
Yvette gave us a tour of Delft that was more than we could have hoped for. The pace was perfect as she showed us the sights and shared their history with us including the new church, monuments, and pointed out snippets of history in the streets and walls throughout Delft without missing a beat. She took us to the Delftware artists and local shops we could try cheese, herring, licorice and stroopwaffel; she also gave us wonderful food and drink recommendations to explore on our own after our tour. Yvette gave us opportunities to ask questions and tailor the experience to what we were looking for. She offered group photos at special spots we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed that are now lasting memories. She was passionate and knowledgeable about her home and it was apparent. We felt so lucky to have her guide us through Delft. Her tour was a top highlight of our trip and the best tour we took of our various bookings throughout the region.
This was an excellent tour. In a short time, our guide gave us an excellent concise overview of Delft. She took us to an independent pottery maker that showed us the process of making Delft pottery. She also advised us of excellent places for dinner and advised us on our train connection to Delft from Amsterdam. I highly advise this tour. Delft is a quaint little quieter get away from Amsterdam
Such a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about Delft and our guide, Dick, told us interesting and fascinating historical facts starting from the 16th century till recent days. We were all captured by his simple, clear explanations and his enthusiasm. I could point at anything around me and he could tell me a story about it. I will never forget what I learned that day. Good weather made the tour even nicer. I highly recommend it.
