About this experience
Discover two completely different sides of Holland on this full-day private tour: modern Rotterdam and historic Delft, with a private boat ride, tickets, lunch, and transfers all included. In Rotterdam, your guide takes you through the bold, rebuilt city: past the iconic Markthal, the old St. Lawrence Church, and the famous Cube Houses, one of which you step inside. The highlight is a private boat ride on the Maas, where you take in Rotterdam's skyline from the water. In Delft, you step into the Dutch Golden Age: the Market Square, the New and Old Church, the Prinsenhof where William of Orange was assassinated, and Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century. Lunch is included in Delft. You can do this tour in either direction. Pick-up and drop-off from other locations, including Amsterdam, can also be arranged. This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have any special requests or an interest in a certain topic, just let us know.

10 minutes here
As soon as we leave the station, we see a the Groothandelsgebouw, a building that was the largest building of Europe when it opened in 1949. It is an icon of the reconstruction of Rotterdam.
5 minutes here
We walk over a seemingly normal roundabout, but for the people of Rotterdam this place almost has a spiritual meaning. Of course it has to do with football.
Pass by without stopping
City Hall Rotterdam
You will see one of the few buildings that survived the war in Rotterdam: the town hall. Who are those statues? Let's find out.

The Timmerhuis housed the institution that managed the city's reconstruction after the war. The building itself also somehow symbolises the mix between old and new that Rotterdam is all about.

Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk
Close to the modern Market Hall stands a 14th century church. Its tower miraculously survived the bombing of Rotterdam too. Today, it is mostly used as an event location. You will learn of the church's history, as well as that of a famous man who was born here: Erasmus.

15 minutes here

20 minutes here · Admission included

After leaving the market square and passing by the butter house, the weighing house and Anthony van Leeuwenhoek's old house, we will go to the old beer brewing quarter and see the Old Church, the leaning tower of Delft. Johannes Vermeer is buried there. But why is it leaning? We'll find out

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for The Hague.
How much does Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $652 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in The Hague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in The Hague is not rushed.
Is Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in The Hague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in The Hague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in The Hague and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Delft & Rotterdam: Private Day Tour with Private Boat Ride start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central The Hague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in The Hague?
+
On Outty we rank every The Hague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour of Delft - The City of Orange and Blue, The Hague 2-Hour Walking Tour | Discover The City With A Local, Royal Delft: Delftblue Factory and Museum Admission Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit The Hague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in The Hague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
