Explore Delft with guide Astrid on a Dutch-language Christmas walk through the old center. Visit the Christmas Shop, Delft City Candle Factory, and Cookie Bakery De Glimlach, then hear about the New and Old Churches before ending with an oliebol and hot chocolate or glühwein at Stads Koffyhuis.

“Het was een hele leuke wandeling langs bijzondere winkeltjes in Delft. De eigenaren vertelden allemaal hun verhaal. De begeleiding door Astrid was goed en relaxed. We hebben Delft nog een stukje beter leren kennen. Mooi ook met alle verlichting onderweg.”

Spend two hours walking from Dam Square through Spui, the 9 Little Streets, the UNESCO Canal Belt, Jordaan, and Noordermarkt.

“This ended up being a smaller group tour, which was fine with me! Learning about the area and getting some hot chocolate and a beanie was fun. Loved making stroopwaffle at the end, was a surprising treat!”
