Suzanne is a fascinating guide: she knows how to share her knowledge about the architecture of Rotterdam with humor and simplicity, including to tourists like us who knew absolutely nothing about it! It is a very pleasant tour that combines the history and contemporary life of the city and its inhabitants! Thanks!
Paula is an excellent knowledgeable guide. Well spoken. Great sites. Strongly recommended to everyone.
Paula provided great communication in advance of the tour about where to meet. She was a wonderful, knowledgable guide and provided lots of great information about the city. It was a good introductory tour.
We had Susan as our guide and she was great! Very informative, answered all our questions, and made we saw the things we had heard about before we came. It was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend.
Good walking tour that orients you to the city of Rotterdam. Powla was a great guide who is passionate about the city and arts. She showed us several unique points in the city while providing a good historical overview of Rotterdam and its past. Using the sites she showed us, I was able to then easily navigate and plan specific spots to visit later. The cube houses were quite interesting.
It was a very informative walking tour, but the guide walked way too fast. Some of us lost sight of him and it took a while to find him
Ed was very knowledgeable, nice and funny. He was very open to questions too. An added plus was that he also looks like a mature Matt Damon
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.
