What you can expect

Our journey begins at the very roots of this vibrant metropolis, tracing its origins back to the 13th century, when it was founded on the banks of the Rotte River. You'll hear tales of its remarkable rise, from a modest trading post to Europe's mightiest harbour, and the devastating impact of World War II that forced the city to reinvent itself.

But Rotterdam is not just about its past. This dynamic city is a living laboratory of innovation, constantly pushing the boundaries of architecture and urban planning. You'll discover hidden gems, encounter unexpected stories, and gain a unique perspective on the city's exciting future.

The 2- vs. 3-hour walking tour:
In short, the two-hour tour gives you an overview and idea of the city, while the three-hour tour can help you really understand Rotterdam. The routes go even more to the core; the stories are more in-depth, and visualisation is even richer. But, you can never go wrong with either choice.

Highlights:
Iconic Landmarks: Marvel at the Markthal, a modern masterpiece often dubbed the “Modern Sistine Chapel” and cross the majestic Erasmus bridge, a symbol of Rotterdam's resilience.

Unique Experiences:
Explore the vibrant Shipping Quarter, delve into the rich history of the Maritime District, and uncover the secrets of the Museum Quarter.

Local Insights:
Our knowledgeable Rotterdam guide, Yoreh, will share personal anecdotes and insider knowledge, bringing the city to life in a way no guidebook can.

Experience:
Small Group: Enjoy a personalised experience with fellow travellers, or customise the tour to your own interests.

Active Exploration: Expect a brisk pace with approximately 11,000 steps and 5 kilometres covered.

Immersive Storytelling: Prepare to be captivated by engaging narratives and fascinating historical facts, backed by A3 image sheets.

Culinary Delights: Conclude your journey inside the vibrant Markthal, where a feast of flavours awaits. Your guide will give suggestions on where to eat.
