An absolutely fantastic walking tour! - Susan was our tour guide on our private tour on an absolutely beautiful sunny day in Rotterdam, and she was fantastic. She has lived in the Netherlands for many years and was very knowledgeable and patient in answering our many questions. She also was very understanding of our desire for a slower pace, and we still saw everything. Highly recommended!

Susan, my guide, made the... - Susan, my guide, made the city of Rotterdam and the country of Netherlands come alive for me. Her ability to convey the historical context of what I was seeing, from the architectural wonders to the background of how each building and structure contributed, in the past and going forward today, their very own unique niche to the community. I truly enjoyed myself immeasurably and would recommend this trip to everyone who wants a concise, immersive and enchanting snapshot of the true life of Rotterdam.

Rotterdam walking tour - Our guide Edwin was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable of the city and the country and had many great stories to share with us . He was kind enough to meet us at the dock and took us on a two hour walk of the city, including a stroll through the market and the cube apartments. I would highly recommend this tour.

How do I furnish? - It seems there are few but it is a real city! Are the floors horizontal? To check it, you have to visit. Contrary to what the Internet told us, it was open. So, go... It's worth a visit, even if the site is aging.

Guide was a nice man - Guide was proficient. Did not know what time tour was to start. This is the second tour we took with Trip Advisor where the operator did not know the details of our tour. Trip Advisor apparently did not get the details correct

Good for a quick overview - Absolutely lovely, knowledgeable and interesting guide (Susan) showed us several key sights and shared lots of history of the city, the architecture, and the sights. Covered a good amount of ground in a short time. Only objection was relatively pricey compared to all the other tours we took in Amsterdam over the course of our trip to the Netherlands.
