I think that is the joke – the speaker knows only one or two paintings from one Vermeer period. Who knew a tour would add to your knowledge about a subject? :) On the other hand, it could be a comment on people who go on a modern tour hoping to see 17th century scenes (especially in densely populated, ever-changing Europe).
It is the Vermeer tour. You have to go in the building to see the history of horizontal drills. Although the stump grinding displays are usually outside.

Reminiscent of “View of Haarlem from the Dunes,” preindustrial of course.

I’ve read the comments up to here and I’m totally baffled. “Vermeer tour” as opposed to what?
