Our first stop for the day will be at the unique UNESCO world heritage Kinderdijk windmills. A system of windmills and pumps has been draining the water from the polder soil into the river for centuries. Over the years, the systems were improved, combining human wits, technology, and nature to work together to keep our feet dry, already for over 700 years! Admire the 19 original windmills in their stunning historical environment. You can enter a working mill to discover the personal stories of the millers and/or take a cruise for a better view from the water!
The sights of Delft, with its canals, gables, and towers, are extremely picturesque. The town is a lot smaller than Amsterdam, but just as pretty (and most important: with less tourists). Delft is home of the world-famous Delft Blue pottery and a visit to the factory, where you can see the process of making the beautiful pottery, is included. After that, you will have time to explore the city center on your own or with our experienced guide to tag along, just as you please. See the famous churches and marketplace, home to Vermeer. As it is your day out, we can custom tailor the tour upon your wishes. In Delft there will be time to have lunch as well.
We visit the factory and flagship store of the famous royal Delft china. See the painters at work and enough time to buy your precious souvenirs for home!

It was everything I hoped the tour would be. Beautiful scenery, lots of historical information, even snacks and drinks during the tour. Ava was wonderful, easy to understand and made everyone feel so comfortable. Great tour!
Best guide!! We toured the windmills in a small group with Dutch Tours. Our guide Eva surpassed all expectations with her warmth, knowledge, and attention to our needs and comfort. We want to book her again for a longer excursion!
Eva and her company, Dutch Tours is spectacular in providing a personalized tour of anywhere! Our adventure with her took us to Kinderdijk and Delft where her knowledge of each place gave us insights and understanding of the history as well as cultural context. Her love for her country is infectious; her pacing is relaxed; her attention to her customers’ travel goals is second to none. And most importantly, Eva’s charming presence with glowing smile and quick wit made our day with her feel like time spent with beloved family. We will seek her out again!
Traveling with Eva was like touring with a friend who is knowledgable about the area and the best sights. Tour was enjoyable and well paced. Really enjoying learning about the windmills and water management and the history and sights of Delft. Also had plenty of time for taking photos. Eva goes the extra mile to provide a great experience. I highly recommend this tour; go with Eva!
Dutch Tours has been amazing! From our first questions to completing our tour, it has been flawless. Eva and Sarah have gone above and beyond to be sure our experience was exceptional. It’s clear Eva loves what she does and she is very knowledgeable about so many things. We highly recommend them for any tours in and around the Netherlands. You will not be disappointed!!!
Fabulous! Eva, our guide, was phenomenal! Only 3 in our group, so essentially it was a private tour. And I’d easily do it again - or any other tour Eva leads!
In depth tour providing highlights of the areas visited going into detail based on the group’s interests. Eva took exceptional care of us enriching our brains and souls. She really knew how to cater to each of us.
Rhonda! It was such a pleasure spending a fantastic day with you all! Thank you very much for your very kind review. Hopefully we'll meet again some day. Until then: all the best to all four of you! Best regards, Eva - Dutch Tours
The tour was very good. The boat ride to see the windmills at Kinderdijk was nice. We had time to explore Delf on our own. After Delf, we went to the Pottery Museum. That was very interesting. This was the second tour that I took with Dutch Tours this year.
This was such a fun tour. We loved seeing the windmills and climbing inside one. The town of Delft and the museum was charming.
If you want to see authentic windmills, this is the place you want to be. This small group tour offers you a way to tour this incredible UNESCO Heritage site in a relaxed environment pretty much set at your own pace. Our tour guide was very informative with content and entertained all our questions. The historic area of the city of Delft is idyllic with shops and restaurants for every flavor.
