What To Expect

World Heritage Kinderdijk

Our first stop for the day will be at the unique UNESCO world heritage Kinderdijk windmills. A system of windmills and pumps has been draining the water from the polder soil into the river for centuries. Over the years, the systems were improved, combining human wits, technology, and nature to work together to keep our feet dry, already for over 700 years! Admire the 19 original windmills in their stunning historical environment. You can enter a working mill to discover the personal stories of the millers and/or take a cruise for a better view from the water!

3 hours • Admission Included

Delft

The sights of Delft, with its canals, gables, and towers, are extremely picturesque. The town is a lot smaller than Amsterdam, but just as pretty (and most important: with less tourists). Delft is home of the world-famous Delft Blue pottery and a visit to the factory, where you can see the process of making the beautiful pottery, is included. After that, you will have time to explore the city center on your own or with our experienced guide to tag along, just as you please. See the famous churches and marketplace, home to Vermeer. As it is your day out, we can custom tailor the tour upon your wishes. In Delft there will be time to have lunch as well.

Excellent tour! Our guide’s local knowledge, experience and friendliness truly enhanced our total experience. She brought out facts and pointed out interesting highlights at Kinderdijk, Delft, and places along the way that reflected her passion for these very interesting locations and added a unique dimension to our tour. Thoroughly prepared, on time, flexible and friendly, I highly recommend Dutch Tours for a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

My husband and I just LOVED this trip with Eva. She was so knowledgeable, accommodating, and down to earth. The windmills were beautiful and fascinating. We loved the charming city of Delft. The two sites were a perfect combination and this was one of our favorite experiences in Amsterdam. We would highly recommend Dutch Tours!
A Perfect Day with the Best Guide – Eva!

I joined a small group tour to Kinderdijk and Delft as a solo traveler, and was incredibly lucky to be in a group of just three people—almost like a private tour! Our guide, Eva, was absolutely fantastic. She’s warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Dutch history, culture, and the places we visited. What impressed me the most was how effortlessly she managed to beat the crowds, timing everything perfectly so we could enjoy the windmills and Delft at their most peaceful. Highly recommended—if you get Eva as your guide, consider yourself very lucky!

Eva was very cordial and informative; Led myself and a small group through a well-timed and thorough walk in-and-around the Kinderdijk windmills, followed by a nice stroll around Delft and its famous Delftware pottery factory to top it off. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quintessentially Dutch activity that takes you outside of Amsterdam. Snacks and beverages were offered along the drives as well.

Excellent tour with Ava to see Kinderdirk windmills. She was very informative and timed everything perfectly to beat the crowds. We got to see the miller unfurling the sail on one of the windmills. She gave us very interesting information. Our small group also enjoyed the town of Delft and we had time for lunch and a little shopping in the square. The Delft factory was also interesting. Fantastic small group tour in a mini van and not a big bus!
Perfect Day

Excellent all day tour of Kinderdirk and Delft with Ava. We thoroughly enjoyed our small group because Ava was informative and friendly and we were able to beat the crowds at Kinderdirk and we were able to take our time and watch the miller unfurl the sail on the windmill. The town Delft was delightful snd Ava gave us plenty of time for lunch and shopping. We then took a tour of the Delft factory. Ava gave us insightful commentary on our way up and back. We enjoyed visiting with the other couple on the tour as well. Highly recommend!
