Rotterdam: Private Tour with Local Guide
Things to know
About the Activity
Explore the most exciting part of Rotterdam during this 2-hour tour with your own private local guide! Discover our very own Manhattan on the Meuse, as you are guided along Rotterdam's most odd structures. During this tour, you will also be taken into a Cubic House for an interior visit. Afterwards, you will know more of the city and its history than the average local! You will learn of Rotterdam's humble beginnings up to its development as a giant port city. Rotterdam has been burnt to the ground and built back up again, only to rise as a uniquely set-up mix of old and new architecture, with some hidden gems in between the concrete jungle. Today, the city has a young population and a vibrant night life and is home to at least 170 nationalities. Do not hesitate to ask your guides for advice after the tour! And remember: it is you who determines the pace of this tour.2 hours
