City walk for groups

Posted on by

Winter, spring, summer or fall. Delft surprises you all year round! The city walks of Do Delft are informative, sometimes practical. But always relaxed and welcoming. We stroll through the streets, along the canals and royal squares. Wondering why the tower of the Old Church is so lopsided? Want to know why the Delft pottery is blue? And which royal highnesses are in the Royal vault? The Do Delft guide will tell you! Of course there is also time for a break in style during the Delft discovery: a hot chocolate in an authentic coffee house on a crispy winter day, a cup of coffee in the Royal Delft Pottery, a sunny terrace on the market, or rather a royal high tea… You can add all kind of activities to the city walk. It will be your best introduction to the city!

On request, our guides can also give explanations in the churches, the Vermeer Centre or Museum Prinsenhof.

Do DELFT Autoped tour

Posted on by

Few means of transport provide as much fun as the autoped. 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.
