Overview

  • Discover two of the most historically rich cities in the Netherlands on this half-day private tour, with a transfer between the cities included.

    In Leiden, your guide walks you through a city packed with stories: it heroically survived a Spanish siege in 1574, it is where Rembrandt was born, where the Pilgrim Fathers found refuge before sailing to America, and where the oldest university in the Netherlands was founded.

    In Delft, you step into the Dutch Golden Age: canals, churches, and the stories of Vermeer and William of Orange. Walk past the leaning Old Church and the towering New Church, discover lesser-known gems like the former Dutch East India Company office, and hear the stories of the city that shaped so much of Dutch history.

    The transfer between the two cities takes just 20 minutes. You can do the tour in either direction.

    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.
