Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for your group only.
A real, genuine museum in The Hague holding Vermeer's masterpiece.
No. The real painting is permanently housed at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, not in Delft. Vermeer lived and worked in Delft his whole life, but the painting itself has been part of the Mauritshuis collection since 1902, and the museum has generally not lent it out for extended periods since it returned from a world tour in 2014.
Once your quote is accepted, we'll confirm your exact pickup time, vehicle, and driver details by email ahead of your tour date.

About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, real stops at the genuine Mauritshuis museum and Delft's historic center. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include the genuine Mauritshuis museum — home to Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' — and Delft's historic center.

The Netherlands splits its capital functions in a way that surprises a lot of visitors. Amsterdam is the country's constitutional capital, the city where the Dutch monarch is formally sworn in, but the actual government runs out of The Hague — parliament, the cabinet, and the Supreme Court are all based there, along with every foreign embassy in the country. The Hague has also become a genuine center of international law, home to the International Court of Justice, which sits inside the Peace Palace, completed in 1913.

That's also where Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' actually lives. The painting, dated to around 1665, was bought at a Hague auction in 1881 and bequeathed to the Mauritshuis museum in 1902, and it's remained the museum's own permanent holding ever since — after a 2014 world tour, the Mauritshuis announced it would no longer lend the painting out for long stretches, making only a rare exception in 2023 for an exhibition at Amsterdam's own Rijksmuseum. So despite Vermeer's own deep ties to Delft, the real painting is genuinely housed in The Hague, not in Delft itself.

Delft is still very much worth the stop on its own terms, though. Vermeer lived and worked there for his entire life, producing an estimated 45 paintings whose calm, quietly lit interiors mirror the atmosphere of the city itself. Delft is also where Delftware was born — the blue-and-white tin-glazed earthenware that Dutch potters developed in the 17th century in response to a sudden craze for imported Chinese porcelain. Royal Delft, founded in 1653 as De Porceleyne Fles, is the last of Delft's original pottery factories still producing the genuine Delft Blue today.
