Discover two of the most iconic Dutch cities on this full-day private tour: Gouda and Delft, each with its own history and world-famous product. In Delft, your guide walks you along the old canals and past historic churches, bringing the stories of Vermeer and William of Orange to life. You visit Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century, and you enjoy lunch on a historic square. In Gouda, you explore the market square, admire the 15th-century Town Hall, and see St. John's Church, home to exceptional medieval stained glass. At the old weighing house, you finish with a cheese tasting. Lunch, museum and church admissions, transfers and the cheese tasting are all included. You can start in either city.

Discover Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda on a full-day private tour. You will get to know three very different, beautiful cities that all played a major role in Dutch history. First up, you'll visit Delft, a picturesque town full of centuries-old facades, squares, churches and canals. Discover the city of Johannes Vermeer, known for its Delft Blue pottery, the final resting place of the Orange family, and its top-rated Technical University. Rotterdam is next. You will see an interesting part of Rotterdam, our second-largest city. The city rose from the ashes or World War Two and doesn't look like Delft or Gouda at all. You will have lunch here and visit a Cubic House. Lastly, you'll go to Gouda, with its charming town hall, fascinating weighing house and impressive church. You will explore the old city center, and your guide will tell you all about it. You end the day with a little cheese tasting there. You can also do this tour the other way around if you let us know.

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Gouda. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll bridge the gap between entrepreneurs, cheesemakers and traders that shaped Gouda. If you can only name five cities in the Netherlands, Gouda is bound to be one of them. This is no doubt the result of that delicious cheese packed tightly in its yellow wax jacket, now available across the globe. This tour starts at the historic Goudse Waag. You’ll be treated to so much more than cheese during your journey. As you explore the heart of the old city, walking past picturesque canals and houses that belong in 17th-century paintings, you’ll hear how Gouda has been both one of the wealthiest and the poorest of Dutch cities over the centuries. There are plenty of places to stop to pull up a chair, order a coffee, and watch the world walk or cycle past. By the end of this walk around Gouda, you’ll have a sense of the city’s complex past and what makes it unique.
