Kelly's City Tours
Trace the life of Mienette Storm while walking through 19th-century Delft with Kelly's City Tours. This unique city walk immerses you in social history and the grassroots fight for women’s rights.
Kelly's City Tours is a Delft-based tour operator offering thematic city walks focused on prominent historical figures connected to the city.
Operating from Delft, Zuid-Holland, the company runs five guided walks that interpret local history through the lives of Willem van Oranje, Hugo de Groot, Mienette Storm, Johannes Vermeer, and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.
Each tour presents a focused narrative that links architecture, public spaces, and archival stories to the centuries in which these figures lived. The Stadswandeling Willem van Oranje traces sixteenth-century events tied to the prince’s life; the Stadswandeling Hugo de Groot covers key developments of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; the Stadswandeling Mienette Storm explores nineteenth‑century social and cultural life; the Stadswandeling Johannes Vermeer highlights seventeenth‑century artistic and urban context; and the Stadswandeling Antoni van Leeuwenhoek follows scientific and civic history across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Kelly's City Tours was selected for inclusion on The Adventure Collective, reflecting recognition beyond local promotion. Descriptions emphasize historical context and storytelling, aiding visitors who seek deeper understanding of Delft’s past.
Practical details and bookings are arranged through the business's public listings and platforms.

All information presented in tours is based on established historical records and public sources. Kelly's City Tours provides clear, themed itineraries that help visitors connect specific locations to the lives and legacies of notable historical figures.
