Meet your local guide in the heart of Delft for a 1.5-hour walking tour through one of Holland's best-preserved historic cities.
Explore the streets that inspired Johannes Vermeer, the "Master of Light." Learn about the assassination of William of Orange — shot dead inside his own home, just steps from where you'll be standing. Discover the secrets of the Royal Crypts beneath the New Church.
Hear about the 200 breweries that once fueled this city, the global reach of the VOC, and the surprising true origins of Delft Blue ceramics. Find out why a medieval prison was hidden inside a 17th-century City Hall.
And meet Hugo Grotius — child prodigy, jailbreaker, and the man who essentially invented international law.
We start at the Grotius statue on the Markt, in front of the New Church, and end exactly where we began. Fully wheelchair accessible. No food, drinks, or entry tickets included.
