About This Tour in The Hague

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.
