Delft Canal Tour

Delft's canal tour delivers an intimate 45-minute loop past Vermeer's View of Delft, with 30% fewer tourists per hour than Leiden's walk (#5). Boats pass the Royal Delft pottery factory, where hand-painted blue-and-white tiles have been made since 1653—some 200,000 pieces annually. This tour is quieter than #8 Houseboat Museum's stationary experience, but equally authentic.
