My teenage daughters and I enjoyed the broad overview of historically important people and places of Delft. We heard about the obvious figures you can look up on the internet. In particular our guide, Kevin, shared small stories of interest like how the covered canal was cold and dark and therefore used to store butter. Another story was that at the end of the day the one animal slaughter house rang a bell to give notice that unwanted scraps were available. Dogs were among those who’s responded. These details made the tour especially interesting for my group. When the tour was over, we felt like we’d returned to modern times after a visit back in time, like we woke from a dream.
