Francky_V, May 2026

Sarith was a nice and friendly guide, with lots of knowledge of Rotterdam. Many photos to show the city from before the destruction and the construction of the new city of Rotterdam. Good luck in your new home.

Enjoyable tour with a knowledgeable guide, who kept the large group entertained with anecdotes and showed us hidden gems in Rotterdam.

This walking tour is a must!

Mark_S, Apr 2026

Taking a walking tour like this is the perfect way to learn about the city. It sure made us see it differently. Peter our guide was awesome - perfect mix of history and humour.

  • Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk

    The 15th century basilica is one of the few remains from before the WWII city bombing and remains an important landmark for the city's history, today it serves as a great place for events.

    On our walk we will take you along some of the city's most awe-inspiring sites, such as the peculiar Cube Houses and the important port of Leuvehaven. Step away from the tired tourist track and into the streets of Rotterdam, discovering quirky street art, hidden gems and imposing skyscrapers.

    1 hour
  • Witte de Withstraat
