Explore Delft live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Binnenstad is worth asking about: the canal-ringed old town holding both great churches and the Markt.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Oude Kerk A leaning 13th-century church tower where the painter Johannes Vermeer is buried.

  • Royal Delft (De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles) The last of the original Delftware factories still hand-painting blue and white pottery.
  • Vermeer Centrum Delft A centre on the site of the old guild hall, dedicated to the painter who lived and worked in the city.
  • Prinsenhof Museum The former convent where William of Orange was assassinated in 1584, the bullet holes still marked in the wall.

  • Delft canals Quiet tree-lined canals crossed by dozens of small arched bridges.
