History beyond what you find on the internet - My teenage daughters and I enjoyed the broad overview of historically important people and places of Delft. We heard about the obvious figures you can look up on the internet. In particular our guide, Kevin, shared small stories of interest like how the covered canal was cold and dark and therefore used to store butter. Another story was that at the end of the day the one animal slaughter house rang a bell to give notice that unwanted scraps were available. Dogs were among those who’s responded. These details made the tour especially interesting for my group. When the tour was over, we felt like we’d returned to modern times after a visit back in time, like we woke from a dream.

Fancy a tour round Delft?......ask Kevin of Do Delft - Kevin was a really knowledgeable guide. As we were the only two bookings on that day we ended up with a private tour. It was a most enjoyable experience. Kevin really 'sold' the area for us. He was also most helpful in booking an evening meal for us. Can't recommend him enough. My husband uses s mobility scooter so Kevin took us the most suitable route around the city's landmarks.

You can always trust that Kevin knows everything about Delft! - I was very lucky to book this walking tour with Kevin, our tour guide. The group is very small, only three of us. However, the quality of the tour was still very high. Kevin almost tailored our tour to meet our curiosity and appetite. We had a lovely time walking and chatting around Delft. His knowledge base is solid. There is almost nothing he does not know about Delft. I would sincerely recommend this walking tour as a quick access to the history of Delft.

Excellent history - We were treated to a highly professional historical tour of delft. The guide was articulate knowledgeable witty and informative. Delft is a smaller Dutch town near The Hague and the tour really brought us close to the Dutch history and experience. Very worthwhile as a day trip from amsterdam
