Discover Delft & The Hague – The Perfect Combination Tour for International Coach Groups!
Especially for coach groups visiting from our neighboring countries, Do DELFT proudly offers a unique and unforgettable experience: a guided walking tour through historic Delft combined with a scenic bus tour through The Hague.
Delft – The city of orange and blue
Your guide will welcome the group at the Hampshire Hotel in Delft, the official coach parking location. Coaches may stop here for up to 30 minutes for passengers to get on and off.

Along the way, you’ll hear about Delft’s most famous painter, Johannes Vermeer, and the life of William of Orange, the Father of the Nation. And naturally, no visit to Delft is complete without learning about its world‑famous Delft Blue ceramics.
The walking tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours and ends back at the Hampshire Hotel bus parking.
The Hague – Highlights Bustour
Next, we continue by coach to The Hague for a scenic sightseeing tour. Along the route, you’ll pass: The Malieveld, The iconic Binnenhof parliamentary buildings, The elegant avenues Korte Voorhout and Lange Voorhout and the historic Plein 1813
A special stop is made at the Peace Palace, home to the United Nations International Court of Justice. Here, guests can take photos while the guide shares fascinating insights about this remarkable institution.
The tour concludes at the seaside in Scheveningen, with its lively beach boulevard — the perfect spot to enjoy the charming atmosphere of this former fishing village. Your guide will happily recommend the best places for excellent coffee or delicious fresh seafood.

Fancy a unique discovery tour through one of the most beautiful historic cities in the Netherlands? Then hop on a bicycle with Do DELFT! During this unforgettable cyclingtour, our experienced guide will take you past Delft’s iconic spots and surprising new hotspots outside the city center. At a relaxed pace, with fun stories, unique facts, and above all… plenty of beautiful places to enjoy.
Start in the historic heart of Delft
The tour begins right in the city center. For the first half hour, you’ll cycle through the old city center, where time seems to have stood still. In the Markt (Market Square), you’ll admire the majestic Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) and the stately City Hall, while the guide shares colorful stories about the painter Johannes Vermeer, famous fellow citizens, and hidden urban myths.
Then the route takes you past the characteristic Oude Kerk (Old Church), known for its leaning tower and connections to famous historical figures. The Prinsenhof (Prince’s Court), where Dutch history took a dramatic turn, is also on the route. Here, you’ll look through the same windows where William of Orange once stayed and where two bullets proved fatal to him.
From history to innovation
After the city center, you’ll cycle towards Nieuwe Delft, the modern neighborhood that has sprung up on the site of the former Spoorzone railway station. Here, history meets the future: innovative architecture, sustainable urban development, and creative initiatives make this area an inspiring part of the tour. The highlight is the central hall of the “Huis van Delft” (House of Delft). The campus of Delft University of Technology is one of the most innovative places in the Netherlands. You’ll cycle past impressive buildings, state-of-the-art labs, and places where students and researchers work on the technology of tomorrow. The guide will tell you about this important part of the city, the unique buildings, and the energetic campus culture.
Two more surprises
The Art Center Delft is an inspiring cultural hub where art, crafts, and creativity converge. You’ll cycle past studios, exhibition spaces, and places where artists bring their work to life. The guide will tell you more about the origins of this creative location and the artworks you’ll see along the way. We’ll conclude the bike tour with a touch of nature. In the De Delftse Hout recreation area, you’ll experience peace and quiet, greenery close to the city. Imagine glistening waterways, expansive cycle paths, and the feeling of being completely outdoors. A wonderful end to a diverse route.
Delfshaven
Are you an experienced cyclist and not done cycling yet? Then book the XXL version. You’ll cycle to Delfshaven, now part of the municipality of Rotterdam, but once the port of Delft. A beautiful piece of history just outside Rotterdam, but with an important role in Delft’s past.

Few means of transport provide as much fun as the scooter. So fun is guaranteed! Not least because in addition to a short tour through the charming center of the city, we will also explore the area. So join the tour and you will be surprised, in a special and active way, by the city of orange & blue.
On the way we drive through the Agneta Park. In this old factory colony, the couple Jacques and Agneta van Marken ran the yeast and spirit factory. This couple is way ahead of their time. For example, they have accident insurance for their employees, a staff newspaper and… in 1884 they founded a garden village next to the factory. Here the guide can tell endlessly about life in this park and about the Van Marken couple.
But… he/she doesn’t do that because we also want to take a look at one of the courtyards of the city. The Hofje van Pauw is a hidden gem. From the legacy of Elisabeth Pauw, eight houses were built here in 1707 for the less wealthy residents of Delft.
Another showpiece in the Delft streetscape is without a doubt the Oostpoort. Once the gateway to the city, today a must-see icon.

Stel je komt een dagje of een weekendje naar Delft en je wil de stad op alle fronten leren kennen. Dan boek je ons “Drie Dubbel Delft” arrangement. Je kunt kiezen uit 2 varianten:
A) Wandelen, lekker lunchen en steppen.
B) Wandelen, lekker lunchen en varen.
Voor beide varianten geldt: De ideale manier om Delft te ontdekken!
Je begint jouw dagje Delft, om 11.00 uur met een uitgebreide stadswandeling, onder begeleiding van onze Do DELFT stadsgids. Tijdens de wandeling kom je alles te weten over de iconen van de stad. De Nieuwe- en Oude Kerk, het stadhuis, het Prinsenhof en de Vleeschhal passeren de revue. Uiteraard wordt er ook stil gestaan bij de bekendste inwoners, soms uit een ver verleden. Johannes Vermeer, Hugo de Groot, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek en Willem van Oranje. Door de mooie verhalen van de gids, komen deze Delvenaren/Delftenaren weer tot leven. De stadswandeling duurt ongeveer 1,5 uur.
Daarna wandel je rustig naar het lunchadres. Wij hebben om 13.00 uur een tafel bij het Stads Koffyhuis of De Delf voor jullie gereserveerd.
De laatste activiteit start om 15.00 uur; bij variant A wordt Delft op de step verder ontdekt. Nu verkennen we juist het gebied rondom het centrum. We nemen een kijkje in het Nieuwe Delft, het Agnetapark en het Hofje van Pauw. Via de Oostpoort en de Markt rijden we weer terug naar het startpunt van de steptocht. Rond 16.30 uur drink je een welverdiend drankje bij restaurant De Delf. De ideale plek om je dagje Delft af te sluiten.
Kies je voor variant B dan vertrek je om 15.00 uur met één van de rondvaartboten om de stad vanaf het water te verkennen. De rondvaart duurt een klein uur. De kapitein vertelt je onderweg mooie verhalen en de prachtige gebouwen geven je een goed beeld van de stad van oranje en blauw.
Variant A is voor individuele deelnemers (= minder dan 12 personen) alleen op zaterdag te boeken. Variant B is voor individuele deelnemers elke dag van de week, behalve zondag, te boeken.
Voor groepen van minimaal 12 personen is dit arrangement elke dag van de week te boeken.
Zowel bij de wandeling, als bij de steptocht en de rondvaart kunnen andere deelnemers aansluiten. Wil je de activiteiten met een privé gids boeken, dan verandert de prijs.
Voor groepen kan de volgorde van de activiteiten, indien gewenst, aangepast worden.
Groepen kunnen uit maximaal 18 personen bestaan (i.v.m. het aantal steps). We kunnen natuurlijk wel 2 groepen maken.
Het programma is ruim opgezet, tussen de activiteiten heb je vrije tijd om bij de lokale winkeliers een souvenir te kopen of op een terrasje neer te strijken.
De lunch bestaat uit een klein soepje, twee broodjes en een drankje (koffie, thee, frisdrank, huiswijn of tapbier)
De steps zijn niet elektrisch en de minimale leeftijd voor de steptocht is 16 jaar.
Na afloop van de steptocht is een drankje inbegrepen (koffie, thee, frisdrank, huiswijn of tapbier), kies je voor de rondvaart, dan is er geen drankje na afloop inbegrepen.
Het kan voorkomen, dat de algemene informatie van de gids tijdens de wandeling en steptocht een beetje overlapt, maar de bezienswaardigheden onderweg zijn totaal verschillend. Bij de rondvaart is er meer informatie overlappend.
De prijs van dit Drie Dubbel Delft arrangement is € 47,50 (variant A) of € 42,50 (variant B) per persoon. Zou je de activiteiten los reserveren, dan ben je € 5 tot € 10 duurder uit. Een aantrekkelijk voordeel!
Reserveren kan, door een email te sturen naar info@dodelft.nl of een Whatsapp bericht naar 06-44224743.
