Despite what the tour information says about being able to go inside the cube house as a part of the tour it is not true. Other than that, the guide was knowledgeable. I don't think there was an official rout he was supposed to go, as he appeared to decide where we were going at the moment. I wonder if we do this tour again if we would see some other places.
Im so glad I went on the tour as I really didn’t know much about Rotterdam other than the ferry port going back and forth to the UK. The guide was very knowledgeable and we covered a lot of ground in our allotted time. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are short of time and/or want the basics and plan to explore the city at greater length.
Susan gave us a great tour! She was very knowledgeable easy to ask questions of and showed us a lot of things. Her passion for Rotterdam and it’s history and architecture is evident.
Very informative, very friendly
Paula was very pleasant and extremely knowledgable in the history of Rotterdam. She took us to a variety of different sites and was thorough in her explanation. Two thumbs up!
Our guide was super. Personable and very knowledgeable of Rotterdam. A great architectural introduction to the city.
It seems there are few but it is a real city! Are the floors horizontal? To check it, you have to visit. Contrary to what the Internet told us, it was open. So, go... It's worth a visit, even if the site is aging.
Merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié Rotterdam et son architecture unique. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une autre découverte.
Guide was proficient. Did not know what time tour was to start. This is the second tour we took with Trip Advisor where the operator did not know the details of our tour. Trip Advisor apparently did not get the details correct
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the confusion regarding the tour details. We appreciate you pointing this out and will review this with the booking platform to help avoid similar issues in the future.
Susan was our tour guide on our private tour on an absolutely beautiful sunny day in Rotterdam, and she was fantastic. She has lived in the Netherlands for many years and was very knowledgeable and patient in answering our many questions. She also was very understanding of our desire for a slower pace, and we still saw everything. Highly recommended!
Thanks so much! Glad you had such a wonderful day in Rotterdam with Susan and enjoyed exploring the city with her.
Absolutely lovely, knowledgeable and interesting guide (Susan) showed us several key sights and shared lots of history of the city, the architecture, and the sights. Covered a good amount of ground in a short time. Only objection was relatively pricey compared to all the other tours we took in Amsterdam over the course of our trip to the Netherlands.
Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the tour with Susan and got to see a lot of Rotterdam in a short time.
