Delft Private Walking Tour
Description
Are you ready to explore the legacy of Vermeer? On this exclusive walking tour in Delft, you will wander through the charming canal-side paths once graced by one of the Netherlands’ master artists.
Private Tour of Delft
The journey commences at Markt square, where we will gather beneath the statue of Hugo de Groot at the scheduled time.
We will then embark on our exploration of the city center, recognized as the birthplace of Johannes Vermeer, celebrated for his iconic work, Girl with a Pearl Earring.
As we meander through the historic old town of Delft, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the façades of notable landmarks such as the Nieuwe Kerk and the Town Hall. The city’s historic center, adorned with scenic canals and refined residences from the Dutch Golden Age, will continuously captivate you.
Our route will take us past the Oude Kerk, the former Dutch East India Company headquarters, and the Meat Hall, along with some secluded courtyards nestled within the city.
We will share intriguing insights about the significant ties between Delft and the House of Orange-Nassau. For instance, did you know that Prince William of Orange, the initiator of the Dutch monarchy, met his end near St. Agatha's Convent, a place still marked by the remains of the bullet holes?
Our enriching walking tour will draw to a close after approximately 1.5 hours, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the historic heart of Delft.
