Details

The city of Delft is famously known for its blue porcelain. This tour offers you the opportunity to visit the fantastic Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (Literally, “Royal Porcelain Bottle,” better known as the Royal Delft factory). A scenic drive will take you into the delightful city of Delft. Best known for its Delft Blue pottery, Delft is also the birthplace of the painter Vermeer and the site of William of Orange’s death. You’ll join your guide for a short walk through the narrow streets of this unspoiled town that boasts charming gabled houses, canals and cobbled streets. Arriving at Market Square, a stop will be made at a local café, where you can relax with some coffee or tea before getting some free time to shop for the perfect souvenir. The highlight of your tour will be a visit to the Delft factory. The factory painstakingly creates its famed earthenware using the same methods employed since its founding in 1653. Watch the artists work on new pieces during a tour of the factory, as they lovingly hand paint each piece. You’ll then have the opportunity to browse through the factory store before the return drive.
