Additional Information

Join us for a 2-hour stroll through Rotterdam and witness the striking contrast between its postmodern architecture and its poignant history. Originating as a small fishing village 800 years ago, the city rapidly evolved into the Netherlands’ key transport hub and a major destination for cruise ships. On 14 May 1940, the city center was bombed by the Nazis. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Rotterdam rose from the ashes to boast one of Europe’s most impressive skylines. Our guides, who are local experts and captivating storytellers, are eager to share fascinating tales about the city’s past and contemporary culture. Additionally, we will provide recommendations on must-visit spots, the best places to wine and dine, and tips on avoiding tourist traps.
