Great tour with Jocelyn
We did this tour in March 2025 together with a befriended couple. They had already been to the Netherlands and we hadn't. What a beautiful country it is and what a great choice to have booked this tour. Recommended for anyone that wants to see some more outside Amsterdam! Loved our guide Jocelyn too.
Response from the operator: We are happy that you have enjoyed the tour. See you next time!

Great tour of Delft Gouda and Rotterdam
I did this tour solo and it was great. Robin was very knowledgeable and enthousiastic. We ended up spending a little less time in Rotterdam and some more in Gouda, ending with a cheese tasting and a beer. Great day! Recommended.
Response from the operator: We are happy that you have enjoyed the tour. See you next time!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for The Hague.
How much does Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese cost?
+
Prices start at $542 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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese 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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese?
+
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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese 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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese?
+
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 Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese 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.
What is included in Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese?
+
Included: Lunch; Hotel Pick-Up and Drop-Off by car (if the option is booked); All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and 3 Private City Tours. Not included: Gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1008 listed pickup locations in and around The Hague. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour of Delft, Rotterdam and Gouda with Lunch and Cheese?
+
