Royal Delft - Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles

Friendly staff, and a good show of different styles of china. We totally grasped the reasons of the expensive Delft china, and even more when it is hand-painted by experienced artists. A suggestion though: it would be great to offer kids audioguides in other languages than Dutch. Many foreign tourists come to the Netherlands with their children and it was really good there was a passionate volunteer in the factory to explain the process, otherwise our daughter would not have had a clue. And we're fortunate that she understands English.

Interesting place to visit, unfortunately I arrived just after two coach loads of older people who were a bit slower than me. Well laid out museum and efficient staff in the cafe and shop. A nice place to visit if you have the time.
