From Amsterdam: Delft & The Hague Small-Group Tour by Train

Take the train from Amsterdam
Central Station to Delft

Meet your guide in front of Amsterdam Central Station at 9:00 AM and take the train together to Delft, arriving in about 1 hour. Instead of a bus, you travel like the Dutch by intercity train and tram; your guide carries the train and tram tickets for the whole group and helps with platforms and transfers.

Walk through Vermeer's city of Delft

For about 1.5 hours, explore with your guide the canals lined with gabled houses, the Old Church with its leaning tower, and Market Square framed by City Hall and the New Church. Hear vivid stories of the Dutch Golden Age, from Delft Blue pottery to the former offices of the Dutch East India Company. During the following free time of about 1.5 hours, have lunch on Market Square or visit the New Church with the marble tomb of William of Orange (admission not included).

Ride the tram to the political heart of The Hague

In the early afternoon, take the tram to The Hague (about 30 minutes). With your guide, follow the Hofvijver pond to the Binnenhof, where the Dutch government has met for centuries, then see the Mauritshuis, the elegant Lange Voorhout and Noordeinde Palace, home of the King's office, over about 1.5 hours. You'll also find out why the government sits in The Hague although Amsterdam is the capital, and why the royal family is buried in Delft.

Return to Amsterdam by train after free time

After about 1 hour of free time in central The Hague, take the train back to Amsterdam Central Station (about 50 minutes), where the tour ends.

※ A visit to Royal Delft (by tuk-tuk, by bus from November to February) and a guided visit inside the Mauritshuis are optional extras at additional cost and are not included in this product.
※ The itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
