Much, much more than we expected! - This tour was more than we expected! We experienced the sights, the history and the tastes of this beautiful place. Our tour guide, Abdullah, loves his home town and his enthusiasm shows!

Beautiful Walk in Rotterdam - Elmar was our guide. He grew up in Rotterdam and is quite proud of it. He went to college in the US and is able to speak excellent English. He took us to all the highlights and was quite patient as we went slightly over the time he had allocated for us. He was enthusiastic which made the tour all the more enjoyable.

Izzy was a fantastic guide - My adult son and I took this tour of Rotterdam with Izzy. The tour is great and Izzy is fantastic. Izzy took pics of us the entire tour and sent them to us at the end of the tour. We tried salted herring, saw a cube house, and learned all about Rotterdam while having a great time. He also gave us tips on local places to eat near our hotel. This is truly one of the highlights of our trip.

Great walking Tour - We had a great tour of Rotterdam with Elmar – he took us around all the great attractions and lead us and two other couples on a fabulous tour of a charming downtown. We would love to do other tours just like that in other cities we happen to visit.

Sincerely worth my time - A delightful half day spent with Abdullah. A Rotterdam native, he knew history, architecture, world affairs, culture. I learned so much as he put all our stops in context. He was affable, polite, well spoken. Thank you, Abdullah.

Through Rotterdam in 3.5 hours with Saad - We booked a privately guided tour. Our English-speaking guide Saad offered us a thematically well-designed tour of Rotterdam. The historical facts of many sights have been perfectly complemented by private views and anecdotes.

Beware. Very poor customer service - My wife wrote a previous review and wanted to edit it but could not. So I am sharing my experience. We arrived in Rotterdam for our private tour only to be stood up by the tour company. We called and they said they had no record of us despite the fact that they charged our credit card and that we had 3 email communications. They apologized and said would refund but did not. Last week they said they couldn’t refund because there was no money in their account. Last Wednesday (4/16) they stated refund would show within 24 hours. It has not. TourGuys wrote a very nice sounding response to my wife’s review stating that they would refund (which they have not despite stating they would - see attached screenshot) They said they offered a complimentary tour. They did not. We were in the Netherlands an additional 5 days and no offer was made to accommodate on a different day. And they exerted pressure for her to change her review because it would ruin their business. Neither of us wish that on a company. We only hope to give others information so they are warned about potential problems. We rely on reviews and wish we had known not to book with them. In short, I’m attaching correspondence that shows emails between us which demonstrate how they deal with clients. I’m more than happy to give people the benefit of the doubt, but if they were sincere in their apology they would have followed thru and refunded our money… and would have offered the complimentary tour and would have been more professional.

No tour . . . . - The pickup in Rotterdam was not clear despite what the operator stated. As a result, we were not able to take the tour and would like a refund.
