A unique harbor tour

Great staff, very nice clean boat with many different viewing platforms! Unique route brought us into the cargo port area as well. Narration in Dutch, German, English and French. Clean bathrooms and a nicely stocked snack/bar.

Good way to see the docks

I did the tour that takes 2 and half hours and goes quite a long way down river. Excellent views of docks ships and industrial sites. Comfortable seating inside or out. Good adequate catering for food and drinks. Good value

Just okay

The first 15 minutes and the last were the most interesting. But beyond that, you are mostly in the industrial shipping area. You will pass a couple of windmills. Nice ride if you want to get off your feet for an hour or so.

Operator response

We're sorry to hear that the boat tour didn't meet your expectations. The tour you chose heads towards the harbor area. We'll make sure to mention this more clearly in the description.

Worth missing

The recorded 'guide' was hard to follow, far too many languages and the whole tour was quite a big disappointment. the only positive was that we had respite from the sun, coz they have a big indoor area to sit.

Operator response

We're sorry to hear that the boat tour didn't meet your expectations. We'll take your feedback about the multiple languages into our next meeting.

Boring not worth money

This tour was very boring. You go through the harbor, and that's it. You can not hear anything. They were telling you information, but the sound system was not good. Also, everyone on the boat was talking. You can order food and drinks if you want. Would not do this tour again.

Operator response

We appreciate your opinion and are very sorry that the boat tour did not meet your expectations. We take feedback seriously and will make sure this gets improved.

fun experience

Nice tour through the port of Rotterdam. Along the way you will learn a lot about the current and previous situation in the port. You can choose to sit both outside and inside. Halfway through the tour there is a possibility to order a drink at the bar inside
