The Experience

The evening opens at Delft's historic weighing house, where you meet your guide and settle in with a starter and your first drink. From there, the walk begins through the old town hall—its tower dates to around 1270—and along the Oude Delft canal past the long butter bridge, the city's smallest facade, Delft's oldest tree, and two former orphanages. You'll reach the Prinsenhof, where William of Orange was killed in 1584, and see the leaning tower from several angles before arriving at restaurant De Centrale, housed in the former Meat Hall on a picturesque corner.

After the main course and another drink, you walk onto the market square to see the New Church and the actual house of Johannes Vermeer—not where most people think it is. The route takes you past the Beestenmarkt, once the animal market and now full of local terraces, then south to the old synagogue. The final stretch passes the old weapons arsenal and a former Dutch East India Company office before you reach De Kurk for dessert and a drink. Your guide leaves you there, and the city's nightlife is less than ten minutes away on foot.

The whole evening runs five hours. Strollers and prams work for infants and small children, and the pace suits all fitness levels. You choose your guide's language at checkout—French, Italian, Spanish, English, German or Dutch—and gratuities are optional.

Top questions

What's the actual route through Delft on this walking dinner?

You start at the weighing house in the old city center, walk past the town hall tower (from 1270) and along the Oude Delft canal, pass the Prinsenhof where William of Orange was killed, see the leaning tower, then head to the Meat Hall restaurant. After the main course, you cross the market square, pass the old animal market and synagogue, and finish near the weapons arsenal at the dessert restaurant.

How much walking is actually involved between the courses?

There are two guided walks—one between the starter and main course, and another between the main course and dessert. Both are short stretches through the old city; the whole evening is five hours total, so the walking is broken up by sitting down to eat and drink at each stop.

Can I bring young children or a stroller?

Yes, infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and the pace is suitable for all fitness levels. Public transportation options are also available nearby if you need them.

What's included in each course?

Every course comes with one included drink—a starter and drink at the weighing house, a main course and drink at the Meat Hall restaurant, and dessert and a drink at the final stop. All fees and taxes are included in the price.

What languages does the guide speak?

Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, German or Dutch. You choose the language when you book.
