One of the best tour guides we’ve had! He was genuinely engaging and made the whole tour interesting from beginning to end. Unlike some tours where you start losing interest after a few minutes, he knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged.

He was clearly very well prepared and had an impressive knowledge of Delft’s history. He explained everything in such a nice and interesting way, sharing lots of historical facts and stories along the way. We learned so much and really enjoyed listening to him.

You could tell he was passionate about what he was doing. Definitely a tour worth taking, and a big thanks to him for such a great experience!

  Randy gave us a very nice and informative city tour in Delft. We were with family, with ages ranging from 36 to 81, and everyone enjoyed it.

  My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Randy on a walking Tour of Delft.  He was extremely informative and  a very kind and interesting man. We highly recommend Randy for anyone wanting to know the history of the city, and to have an experience with a tour led by a local guide a genuinely nice person.

  We had a very informative and interesting guided walk through Delft with guide Wouter. Wouter took plenty of time and had so much to tell us. Highly recommended. We were going to the William of Orange musical that evening, and this guided walk was a lovely addition. (Translated from Dutch)
