Discover Delft on a relaxed city tour. Immerse yourself in the Golden Age, follow in the footsteps of Vermeer and experience history at the scenes of famous political murders. An exciting mix of art and history!
Hi there,
I'm Pascal and I've been living in Delft, a small Dutch town with a lot of charm and even more history, for a year and a half now. To bring you closer to this history, I'm offering a German-language city tour and am happy to welcome anyone who wants to get to know Delft from a completely new perspective! We will immerse ourselves in the Golden Age and follow in the footsteps of the Master of Light, Johannes Vermeer, among others. But Delft is more than just art: we also visit the site of one of the most momentous political murders in world history and find out the fate of the prince's murderer. You will also learn how Hugo Grotius moved the world in a box of books and how the rise and fall of the VOC shaped the country. This tour is not a dry history lesson, but an exciting journey through time.
