Local Connections: A Hands-on Experience: Pottery Workshop at Royal Delft

Tour the famed Royal Delft Factory and witness skilled craftsmen hand-paint beautiful ceramic pieces. Then, experience the age-old process of creating the world-famous Delft porcelain by making your own Delft Blue tile. Next, browse the showroom before boarding your coach that will take you to the center of Delft. Here, you'll join your guide for a short walk through the narrow streets, past Markt, Delft's main square and home to the imposing Town Hall and the commanding New Church. Dating back to the 14th century the church holds the mausoleum of Prince William; almost every deceased member of the royal family since William has been interred in the church's royal crypts. At the end of your tour you'll have 30 minutes to shop, take photos and soak up the atmosphere before returning to port.
