What a great way to get to know Rotterdam's highlights. Our guide Arik accompanied us competently and friendly – even our 2 teenagers (13) were really impressed, and that's not a given at that age. Based on the tour, we visited some highlights again. Just the way we imagined it. THANK YOU!
Had a lovely time cycling around Rotterdam with Nigella as our guide. Even though it was the day of the Caribbean Carnival, Nigella put together a great route taking in the sights of the city whilst avoiding all the closures of the carnival
Tom our English speaking tour guide was fantastic and took the 9 of us around all the main sights in Rotterdam. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting Rotterdam.
Such a fun tour! Our guide Tom was wonderful — patient, informative, and engaging. I appreciated Tom answering all of our questions. The number of stops was just right. The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained. I highly recommend this tour.
Nice little tour and introduction to Rotterdam. Bikes were in good shape, and our guide, Niels was friendly,helpful, and informative. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great time on our bike tour. Our guide Niels was infomative and clearly loved his city. It was a great way to explore this lovely city and we felt very safe on our bikes which were in excellent condition. Highly recommend this tour.
A great 2.5hr bike ride and tour around all the highlights of Rotterdam. The bikes were in great shape with multiple sized frames available for all sizes of people. Niels was our guide and made sure our group stayed safe and together on the approx. 7 mile route and we stopped often for him to tell us about the main sites to see. Highly recommended
I have been on many cycle tours around European cities and this was probably the best. The tour guide ( I can’t remember her name but she had a red bike) was really excellent (if slightly mad in a nice way). She made the tour and took us to lots of interesting places that we did not know existed. Thank you.
Wonderful guide Cas told us a lot of cool stuff about Rotterdam.Excellent tour and so friendly and informative.Easy cycle and good bikes.Cas is passionate about an amazing city and I could not fault this tour.Thanks Cas
Since it was a bit chilly, we had a private bike tour with owner; Ariane and Nina! It was really great, so much more info and history than my wife and I expected. The e-bikes were definitely the way to go and they were like-new. Loved the bridge crossings, highly recommend!
