What you'll see and do
Museum Prinsenhof Delft
As we make our way into the city, we walk through the Prinsenhof. This place has played a deciding role in Dutch history. Let's find out more about it.
10 minutes here
Old Church
We are now in the old beer brewing quarter of Delft. Where did the brewers go? We will also see the Old Church, perhaps the most recognizable building of the city. How old is it exactly and why is it so skewed? Who knows!? Well, I happen to know!
10 minutes here
Gemeenlandshuis van Delfland
Close to the Oude Kerk, we will see a heavily decorated facade, that of the Gemeenlandshuis. What is this building and why was it so important?
10 minutes here
Stadhuis Delft
The old town hall of Delft is (partly) one of the oldest historical buildings of the city, dating to the 13th century. We will walk by it as we enter the Grote Markt square on our way to the New Church. What is so interesting about the town hall? I'll tell you!
15 minutes here
New Church
This is the second-highest church in the Netherlands and the royal family is buried here. Why in Delft actually? If desired, I can buy you tickets to go up the church tower as well. Be warned, it is quite a climb!
10 minutes here
We will walk along the oldest canal of Delft, away from the Grote Markt square. In the south of the city centre, we will pass by a large former weapons Armory of the V.O.C. Let's find out more about Delft's role in the golden days of the Dutch Republic. Also around here, we can take a look at the exact spot where Vermeer was standing when he made his famous painting 'View of Delft'.
30 minutes here
Maria van Jessekerk
Going back north, we are passing by the first catholic church that was built in the centre of Delft. There is something funny about the two towers... It is also standing on the spot where Vermeer used to live and make his paintings.
25 minutes here
Beestenmarkt
Finally, we pass by the Beestenmarkt in Delft. This is the coziest square of the city, ideal for a lunch or a beer. In the past, this square had a different function.
10 minutes here
Station Delft - Delft Railway Station
We will walk towards the station to take the train to Rotterdam Blaak. This is only 18 minutes away and costs €4.10, which is included in the price of this activity. On the way there, we pass by some farmlands and the city of Schiedam. Enjoy the best public transport system of Europe (and third worldwide, after Singapore and Hong Kong)!
18 minutes here · Admission included
When we get off the train in Rotterdam, we will immediately see a peculiar set of apartments. The Cubic Houses (by Piet Blom) are a product of the 70's and represent a typical way of building a 'village inside a city'. We will view one of the apartments from the inside! The price is included in the tour price.
15 minutes here · Admission included
Oude Haven
After we made our way through the Cubic Houses, we enter the Oude Haven (Old Harbour). This is now a lively recreational area with multiple terraces. See some more Piet Blom architecture and enjoy the old ships that are anchored here for restauration.
15 minutes here
Witte Huis
The most prominent building next to the Old Harbour is definitely the White House (Het Witte Huis). This is the oldest skyscraper of Europe, dating from 1898, and one of the few buildings to have survived the bombing of Rotterdam
15 minutes here
Markthal
After walking back towards Blaak, we will enter the impressive Market Hall (Markthal). The two sides of the building contain many apartments and inside you can enjoy different foods from around the world. And don't forget to look up and look at one of the biggest pieces of art on the planet!
20 minutes here
Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk
Just next to the modern Market Hall stands a 14th century church. Its tower miraculously survived the bombing of Rotterdam. Today, it is mostly used as an event location.
15 minutes here
The Markthal
We will end the tour around Blaak again, the place where the original dam over the Rotte was built (yes, Rotterdam). On Tuesdays and Saturdays there is a big outside market here. If you want, you can explore Rotterdam further from here, or take a train home.

We saw and learned a lot
This is mainly a walking tour. Our guide was great. We saw more in one day tha we would on our own by far. The taxi ride to Delft saved us the time and effort of taking a train. The tour is pricey, but we were happy with the comfort and flexibility it gave us.
Response from the operator: Hello Sandra and Terry, Thank you for sharing your day with us. Rotterdam and Delft feel like two different worlds, and a private tour of Rotterdam and Delft lets you see both properly without worrying about timetables in between. Having a van and driver at your side does add to the cost, so we are glad it felt worth it to you. We will gladly pass your kind words on to your guide. We hope to welcome you back to the Netherlands one day. Warm regards, the Holland City Tours team

Great combination of 2 towns and excellent insider guide
Combination of Delft and Rotterdam is great b/c gives a view of Golden Age and more recent history. Very authentic Delft and hip Rotterdam. Peter has been an excellent guide, tuning into his audience interest areas, very alert and he knows these places like the inside of his pockets.
Response from the operator: Hi Suzy, it's great to hear that you've enjoyed the combination of Delft and Rotterdam! I'll pass your compliments along to Peter. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and maybe see you again next time. - Robin from Discover Delft

Stellar day in Rotterdam & Delft
This was a very relaxing, informative tour with Marijke who paced the tour for us and conveniently met us at the Rotterdam Cruise Port for our convenience. We would recommend her as a knowledgeable and pleasant guide through Rotterdam and Delft.
Response from the operator: Hi David and Deborah, it's great to hear that you've enjoyed your private tour with our guide Marijke! We're very happy with your kind review. Maybe see you again next time, in another Dutch city. - Robin from Discover Delft

Great tour on a sunny day in June
This tour was great. We were looking forward to Delft a lot and didn’t quite know what to expect from Rotterdam. In the end both cities were amazing. Our guide was also fabulous and very knowledgeable. She picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back off again afterwards. Thanks for this beautiful sunny day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Michaela! We're thrilled Rotterdam surprised you and that Delft lived up to expectations. We'll pass your kind words on to your guide. Glad the sun cooperated too. Hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Best, Robin – Discover Delft

Guide and city beautiful. Not a driven tour
We loved our guide and had a great time with him. He couldn't have been nicer. However, we assumed by the description it was a driven tour, and since it was raining, it was somewhat disappointing. My husband has a bad foot, and the reason I paid for a personal tour was so that we weren't made to walk long distances or keep up with people. Please specify that the tour isn't driving in the description.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words about our guide! We'll pass that along. We're also sorry for the misunderstanding about the tour format, especially given the rainy weather and your husband’s foot. Our tours are designed as walking tours, but I understand how this may not have been clear enough from the description. We’ll make sure to adjust our wording so that there can be no doubt for future guests. We really appreciate you taking the time to point this out. Should you ever return, please don’t hesitate to let us know your preferences in advance. We’ll always do our best to adapt.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for The Hague.
How much does Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $217 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 Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer?
+
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 Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer?
+
Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer 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 languages is Rotterdam & Delft: Private Tour with Cube House and Transfer offered in?
+
