Lovely day in Delft

5.00We did the Delft, Royal Delft, and Kinderjik tours with Robin. He was so knowledgeable and very funny. You can tell he enjoys what he does. We saw the beautiful town of Delft and enjoyed the local culture followed by a trip to the Royal Delft factory and a visit to the windmills. Wonderful day, highly recommend!

5.00Thanks for this fun day tour! My husband and I booked this tour a few days before we docked in Rotterdam and it was actually the first time we booked an excursion on our own so we were a bit nervous about getting back to the ship on time. In the end we had plenty of time and saw places that we would've otherwise missed. Didn't expect holland to be one of the most memorable stops on our cruise actually. Would recommend.
An interesting trip with a fun group

5.00I booked this tour just two days in advance while sailing on the MSC Poesia, as I wanted to see more of the Netherlands during our 1 day in port, without joining a big coach tour. So this was exactly what I was looking for. The group ended up being only five people, which made the tour feel very personal. Everything was well organised from start to finish. I especially enjoyed Delft. Thank you for organising such a memorable day!
