The Hague & Delft: Art, Royals & Delft Blue Private Day Tour
Overview
Explore two of the most historically rich cities in the Netherlands on this full-day private tour, with visits to two world-class museums along the way.
In The Hague, your guide takes you through the political and royal heart of the Netherlands. The highlight here is the Mauritshuis, home to Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and some of the finest Dutch Golden Age paintings in the world.
In Delft, you step into the city where Vermeer lived and worked. Walk along the canals and past the historic churches, hear the stories of William of Orange and Antony van Leeuwenhoek, and visit Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century. Lunch is included here.
This tour normally starts in The Hague and ends in Delft, but the other way around also works. Pick-up in another city can be booked too.
