Overview

Discover Delft and Leiden, two quaint historical cities that have played a major role in Dutch history. Visit them both in this immersive 4.5 hour private tour.

First up, you will see Leiden, known its stunning canals and classy streets. Step back in time as you explore its old center. The city that heroically survived a Spanish siege in 1574 is full of stories: it was the home of Dutch Master Rembrandt, the oldest university of the country, and the Pilgrim Fathers.

Next up, you'll visit Delft, a picturesque town full of centuries-old facades, squares, churches and canals. The city of Johannes Vermeer is known for its Delft Blue pottery, the final resting place of the Orange family, and its top-rated Technical University. You'll be impressed by its charm.

The transfer between the two cities is included and only takes 20 minutes. You can also do this tour the other way around.
