Delft Private Historic Walking Tour
Visit the charming city of Delft, the beloved hometown of the world-famous painter Jan Vermeer which looks like a picture itself with not only numerous architectural masterpieces, including the fairytale-looking 15th-century East Gate surrounded by scenic canals, the vintage peasant houses in Klaeeuwshofje Courtyard from 17th century, the 14th-century New Church with the second highest church tower in the Netherlands crowning the skyline of Delft, and the peculiar leaning tower of the Old Church, but also the vibrant traditional life that has been well maintained from the Middle Ages at Market Square, one of the largest historic market sites in Europe.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Set off at the Eastern Gate, the only remaining entrance of the 15th-century old city walls. The sharply pointed spires, drawbridge, moats, and arrow loopholes of the defensive brick structure make an exciting introduction to the journey through the rich history and culture of Delft.
Next, stop by the picturesque courtyard of Klaeeuwshofje, consisting of serene 17th-century peasant houses home to Catholic laywomen who devoted their lives to praying and living peacefully away from the hustle and bustle of the city center and the main road nearby, Oosteinde Street.
Continue to take a relaxing stroll through Oosteinde Street, where you can spot a wealth of lovely bridges spanning a scenic tree-lined canal and vintage-looking brick houses. The picturesque street leads you straight to the atmospheric Market Square.
