A guide telling about William of Orange next to Prinsenhof

About this activity

This special William of Orange themed private tour offers a deeper dive into Delft at the very heart of Dutch history. Together with a knowledgeable local guide, you will explore the city through the life, death, and legacy of William of Orange, the Father of the Fatherland.

The tour leads you through Delft’s historic center, with extended, guided visits to both the New Church and the Old Church. In the New Church, you will visit William of Orange’s mausoleum and learn why Delft became the burial place of the House of Orange. In the Old Church, your guide will place Delft’s religious, political, and social life into context during the turbulent years of the Dutch Revolt.

Along the canals and streets of Delft, your guide will connect the story of William of Orange to the wider Golden Age of the Dutch Republic. You will also encounter other key figures linked to the city, including Johannes Vermeer, whose world was shaped by the legacy William of Orange left behind.
