Overview

On this full-day private tour, you will discover Rotterdam and Delft. See the highlights of both cities together together with our passionate guide. Lunch, a private boat ride, multiple entry tickets and transfers between the cities are included.

Forget about Amsterdam! You will see two totally different sides of the Netherlands during this tour. In old Delft you'll dive into the Dutch Golden Age, as you stroll along the city's churches and old canals, and visit a Delft Blue museum and factory. In modern Rotterdam, you'll discover what it is to live in a Cubic House and you'll see our Manhattan on the Maas from the water. And don't be fooled! There is always some history to be found, also in Rotterdam.

You can do this tour both ways: starting in Leiden or starting in Delft. You can also choose to be picked up and dropped off at a location of your choice, like in Amsterdam. And remember: It is you who determines the pace of this tour.
