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 Goud...
