Overview

In this full-day experience, you will visit Rotterdam and Delft, perfect for anyone that wonders what Holland has to offer besides Amsterdam. This tour includes transport, a fast boat ride, lunch on a picturesque square, a visit inside a Cubic House (you won't find that in Amsterdam!), 2 tuktuk rides, tickets to climb the second-highest church of the country and tickets to the Royal Delft museum.

The fastest (and most comfortable) way to get to Rotterdam is by Intercity Direct train. That is how the Dutch do it and that is how you will do it!

You will meet your guide on Rotterdam Centraal Station and that is where your tour starts. You will see the highlights of modern Rotterdam, our second-biggest city, both from the street and from the water. After this, prepare to see Delft, the true gem of Holland, where the Golden Age is still alive.

This tour ends in Delft, at the end of the afternoon. If you want to, we can help you with dinner there, or with coming back to Amsterdam. Enjoy!

Activity itinerary

Station Zuid
  • 38m
You will take the Intercity Direct from here to Rotterdam Centraal (38 minutes only, faster than by car). You will receive personalised first class tickets and instructions.
Rotterdam Centraal Station
  • 10m
Your guide will be waiting for you at Rotterdam Centraal Station. The tour starts here, the city's new train station. 170,000 people walk in and out every day!
Groothandelsgebouwen N.V.
  • 5m
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.
Hofplein (Pass by)
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.
City Hall Rotterdam
  • 10m
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.
Timmerhuis - OMA
  • 5m
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
  • 10m
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.
Markthal
  • 10m
This building has become an icon for the city. 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! Inside, we will taste some Dutch cheese.
Kijk-Kubus Museum-house
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
You have already noticed the cube houses probably, but now we will walk under them, and even enter one from inside. You will find out if it is a bit comfortable to live there.
Willemsbrug
  • 5m
We will walk towards the river Maas, close to the red bridge. This is where heavy fighting took place in May 1940, before the bombing of the city. From here on, we will have a clear view of Rotterdam's impressive skyline. You can also see the other side of the river,
Boompjeskade
  • 45m
From here, we will get our own water taxi (fast yellow boats for small groups). We will go on a 45 minute tour over the river Maas, to really appreciate the skyline and (a part of) the port of Rotterdam.
Old Harbour
  • 10m
As we walk away from the river again, we are entering the Old Harbour area. This area is where the port of Rotterdam started in the 15th century. Nowadays, this is a place to go out for drinks or look at old ships being restored by hand and the actual port (the biggest of Europe) starts a few kilometres away!
Witte Huis
  • 10m
We will walk closer to the river and see the Witte Huis.,the most prominent building in to the Old Harbour area. This is the oldest skyscraper of Europe, dating from 1898. You will learn about its significance to the city. And if you look carefully, you can see the remnants of German bullet holes! Your guide will tell you all about it.
Rotterdam Blaak
  • 20m
We will now go underground, into the UFO shaped train station Blaak. From here, we will take a direct train to Delft city centre (17 minutes).
Station Delft - Delft Railway Station
  • 10m
From Station Delft, we will make our way into the city.
Armamentarium
  • 15m
We will walk along the oldest canal of Delft. In the south of the city centre, we will pass by a large former weapons Armoury 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'.
Vrienden van de Synagoge Delft
  • 15m
On our way to the Beestenmarkt square, we will pass by Delft's old neo-classicist synagogue, as you walk along another one of Delft's quaint canals.
Maria van Jessekerk
  • 10m
The newest church of Delft city centre! Only about 150 years old. It is a Catholic church, so it was not allowed before that time. How about the church's 2 distinct towers? You'll see.
Beestenmarkt
  • 1h
On this former animal trading market square, the Beestenmarkt, we will stop for a well-deserved lunch. Nowadays, this is a very popular square among locals
Nieuwe Kerk
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
We will see the second-highest church tower of the Netherlands, and home of the family grave of our royal family. The church is from the 14th century, but it has suffered quite some damage during the centuries. You'll learn more about it! If you want to, we will climb the tower (370 steps).
Stadhuis van Delft (City Hall Delft)
  • 10m
The old town hall of Delft is one of the most important historical buildings of the city. We will walk by it as we leave the Markt square on our way to the Old Church. What is so interesting about the town hall? Your guide will tell you.
Old Church
  • 15m
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
Museum Prinsenhof Delft
  • 10m
Opposite of the Old Church is the Prinsenhof, a former monastery. This place has played a deciding role in Dutch history, as our Father of the Fatherland has been assassinated here in 1584. You will find out more about it.
Gemeenlandshuis van Delfland
  • 15m
On our way down the Oude Delft canal, we will see the oldest house of Delft. It now has a heavily decorated facade, as it houses the Water Board since 1645. What is this and why was (and is) it so important?
Markt
  • 20m
We make our way back to the central Markt square, where there will be an electric tuktuk (threewheeler) waiting to take us to the Royal Delft Museum.
Royal Delft - Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
We arrive at the only surviving original Delft Blue pottery factory, from 1653. Here, you will get an audio tour through the museum and the operational factory itself. Afterwards, you can visit their shop and café, before a tuktuk takes you back to Delft again (to the city or to the station).
Markt
  • 15m
You are back in Delft, with the night ahead of you. If you want to eat or drink something in Delft, everything is within a few minutes walking from here. We can help you with planning your evening if you want to. Or else, you can easily get back to Amsterdam from here. And again, we can help you with that, just let us know. Enjoy!
