Insider tips
- ★Visit Gouda's cheese market square (Markt) early morning on Thursday or Saturday (April–September) if you want to see the ceremonial cheese trading in action; the tour is flexible enough to time this.
- ★The Prinsenhof in Delft contains lesser-known rooms with Protestant Reformation history—ask your guide to focus here if you're interested in 16th-century politics.
- ★Stroopwafel-tasting is best done warm, straight from the maker; your guide will know which artisan spots are worth the detour over touristy cafés.
