A tour full of history and good vibe! - We toured the main points of the city and, despite the heat, Itzel managed to make the experience very pleasant. Always with a smile, he answered all our doubts and gave us excellent recommendations. Thank you, Itzel, for your good vibe and for making the tour so special!

Very interesting walking tour! - We did the walking tour with Itzel, and although it was raining we had a great time! I have visited Rotterdam a few times before, but never did a tour in the city. As the parents of my girlfriend were over from Mexico, we decided to do this walking tour. And I'm happy we did! Itzel is very knowledgeable about the city, with all of its history and architecture. We got to know a lot about the past, present and future through all the stories and accompanying photomaterial that Itzelf took with her. The tour was really well prepared which added a lot to the quality of the tour. Itzel is very enthousiastic and creates a nice energy within the group. I would definitely recommend this tour!
