Rejseplan
Før Anden Verdenskrig var der ingen Hovedbanegård, men der var fire stationer rundt om i centrum. I 1957 blev hovedbanegården åbnet på sin nuværende placering. I 2004 blev der påbegyndt en totalrenovering af hovedbanegården, i 2014 blev det nuværende slutresultat leveret. Den gamle station kunne ikke længere klare passagertilstrømningen.
I 2011 organiserede Rotterdam kommune det første byinitiativ, et administrativt instrument til at stimulere administrativ innovation og borgerdeltagelse. Indbyggerne i Rotterdam blev opfordret til at indsende projekter, der ville bringe liv i byen og forbedre livskvaliteten i byen. Der er afsat et beløb på 4 millioner fra byinitiativet til at gennemføre projektet.
I middelalderen en af de 10 byporte, som Rotterdam havde her. I 30'erne voksede byen Rotterdam hurtigt, og porten stod i vejen, da man ønskede et bedre flow for den stigende trafik. Det blev besluttet at flytte porten omkring 100 meter (en nedrivning af porten mødte stor modstand). Under bombardementet i Anden Verdenskrig blev porten alvorligt beskadiget, et år efter bombardementet blev porten revet ned, fordi den ikke længere kunne gøres færdig. Nogle prydværker fra den gamle port blev gemt og indarbejdet i væggene i bygningerne på hjørnet af rådhuspladsen.
Rådhuset blev bygget mellem 1914 og 1920 (af Henri Evers) og er en af de få bygninger i centrum af Rotterdam, der overlevede bombardementet den 14. maj 1940.
I øjeblikket er mødet et af hotspots i Rotterdam. Der er mange caféer, spisesteder og tøjbutikker. I 90'erne var mødet en gade, hvor der hovedsageligt var vikar- og rejsebureauer, mødet var en atmosfæreløs gade med meget ledighed. Robin von Weiler er ikke fremmed for Rotterdam. Han skylder sit kaldenavn Mr. Meent til alt, hvad han har gjort for denne gade og stadig gør.
Laurenskerk er den eneste rest af Rotterdams middelalderlige centrum. Laurenskerken er en krydsning mellem en halkirke (alle bygninger er lige høje) og en korsformet basilika (her er sidetårnene lavere end hovedtårnet). Kirken blev bygget mellem 1449 og 1525.
Moderne kompleks med et overdækket marked og flere restauranter under en bue af lejligheder.
I 70'erne af det 20. århundrede ønskede arkitekter at skabe gæstfrie boligområder med deltagelse af beboerne og andre brugere som reaktion på den storstilede og en grå modernisme i arkitekturen i genopbygningen efter 2. verdenskrig. Piet Blom, strukturalist og adept af Aldo van Eyck, antog, at bygninger i stor skala skulle bygges på størrelse med mennesker ved at bygge dem af små genkendelige elementer. Grundtanken, at bygningen bygges på søjler, så rummet under bygningerne kan forblive offentligt, er inspireret af Le Corbusier

We only had a short time to see the city and this pedicab tour was perfect! An overview of Rotterdam.
We had to cancel at the very last minute...we had double booked ourselves. The operator was very kind and offered a ride next time we're in town We didnt request a refund of course.
This was a wonderful tour. As we had already visited Rotterdam on another vacation, we wanted to see and hear about some different and unusual sights. Our guide surely made that happen. He told us many interesting stories and we were very pleased with this tour! P.S. He did take a picture of us and promised to text it to us but I have not received it yet. I forget his name but he is studying medicine at the University and we would love to have the picture

Izzy was a great tour guide. This was our first visit to Rotterdam. Izzy reached out to me after booking to see what we wanted to see on our tour. He picked us up at our hotel, gave us the history of Rotterdam and showed us the sights around the City Center. Definitely would recommend this, especially if you have never been to Rotterdam.

We were supposed to take this tour (and had paid), but 15 minutes before the tour, they called and wanted to delay it by 30 minutes due to a summer festival (we booked this months ago and the summer festival was something planned for months that they knew was occurring). Since it was afternoon, we could not delay, as we were on a cruise ship. We were willing to go late, but they said they could not guarantee we would be back by the time we needed to return to the ship. I asked if they could refund the money; they stated that we would have to check with customer service. They asked what we wanted to do; we said we would have to cancel if they could not guarantee we would be back on time. Now, they are saying we lied, that they did offer the original time (they did not - my husband heard the conversation), and the person I was talking with refuses to refund our money (over $150 - there was no other "customer service" person). I would not trust booking with them again, which is too bad since we will be back again in a few months.
Dear Robin, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely sorry that you left disappointed, as we were looking forward to showing you Rotterdam. However, we do need to correct several statements in your review which are not true.. The proposed 2:30 PM start was presented as an option, not as the only available pickup time. Once you explained that you needed to return to your cruise ship by approximately 3:00–3:15 PM, we immediately offered to keep the original 2:00 PM meeting time and shorten the tour so you could return within your preferred timeframe. We also explained that, as a responsible operator, we could never guarantee an exact return time due to circumstances outside anyone's control, such as traffic or unexpected congestion. After discussing the option together, you decided to cancel the tour. At no point did we refuse to operate it. Regarding the festival, this was precisely why we contacted you before the tour; to communicate the situation and work with you on the best solution. Our goal was to make the tour possible despite the circumstances. We're disappointed that our recollection of the conversation differs so significantly, but we stand by the facts and the efforts we made to accommodate your schedule. We wish you a pleasant return visit to Rotterdam and all the best for your future travels. Team TourGuys
Very relaxed, fun & interesting covering a relatively small area of central Rotterdam. Someone younger than I am might have enjoyed doing it as a walking tour. Guide Izzy was fun and informative.
