“Il a été sympathique de découvrir l'oeuvre de Vermeer cependant a l'entrée lorsque j'ai téléchargé mes billets sur mon téléphone il n'y avait pas de QR code et le musée en a besoin pour valider la réservation. Heureusement ils ont accepté de nous faire entrer.”

Private Delft city walk plus Royal Delft Museum and factory visit, with a guided link between landmarks, canals, and Delft Blue pottery.
“This was a wonderful historic venture of the city of Delft and the Delft factory. Eliza was a wonderful tour guide and explained the history beautifully. I would suggest to wear comfortable shoes and bring rain jackets if the weather is threatening.”

“We had an outstanding tour with Robin, our guide. He was very knowledgeable of Delft, well informed on Vermeer and his paintings, and quite educated on Netherlanf history. He spoke excellent English, loudly and clearly. He was very articulate, patient, and welcomed our questions. He was a true gentleman and professional throughout the 3+ hour tour. It was a very enjoyable and educational day.”
