Itinerario
La nostra prima tappa sarà davanti all’Hotel New York. Racconteremo la sua storia e l'uso attuale. Anche da lì avremo una splendida vista sul cosiddetto 'tornado' che è il nuovo Museo delle Migrazioni di Fenix.
Pedaleremo sull'Erasmusbrug verso il Distretto Marittimo, dove ci fermeremo al Memoriale di Guerra di Rotterdam della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Parleremo del ponte e daremo una breve storia di Rotterdam in relazione alla seconda guerra mondiale.
Ci fermeremo nel quartiere delle spedizioni alla fontana che un tempo era nel centro della città. Questa caratteristica parte di Rotterdam ti darà un assaggio di come era Rotterdam prima della guerra.
Il cosiddetto ‘Quartiere dei Musei’ è un luogo di Rotterdam dove hanno sede alcuni dei musei più importanti di Rotterdam, collegati dal parco dei Musei. Faremo una sosta vicino al New Institute guardando il nuovissimo Art Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, una delle ultime icone che è stata aggiunta a Rotterdam e il primo deposito d'arte accessibile al pubblico al mondo! Ti stai già emozionando?
Ci sarà l'opportunità di una pausa di 15-20 minuti in una delle più antiche vie dello shopping di Rotterdam, De Oude Binnenweg. La durata della pausa dipende dalle dimensioni e dalle esigenze del gruppo e può essere regolata sul posto. Durante la pausa, possiamo stare insieme in un bar o si può scegliere di girovagare ed esplorare da soli. Questo momento è ideale per socializzare, ricevere raccomandazioni, riscaldarsi, raffreddarsi o semplicemente usare il bagno. Siete pregati di notare che le bevande non sono incluse.
La nostra ultima tappa prima di riportare le bici sarà davanti al municipio storico di Rotterdam.
Ci fermeremo nelle vicinanze presso la piazza antistante la Chiesa di San Lorenzo.
Le Case del Cubo gialle potrebbero essere uno dei luoghi turistici più famosi della città. Ci metteremo davanti, parleremo della storia e faremo delle foto.
Il Market Hall (2014) ha reso Rotterdam ancora più famosa ed è un moderno mercato al coperto con un sacco di cibo e colori! La chiamiamo anche la nostra moderna Cappella Sistina e scoprirete perché!
Pedaleremo ancora verso il Kings Harbour Bridge, dove faremo una sosta e ci tufferemo nella sua storia!

My mum & I as part of our 5 day trip to The Hague wanted to experience a guided tour bike ride in Rotterdam. Elmer was available and he offered us a private tour at no extra fee. Elmer was very thorough to check the bikes tyres were inflated & we were happy with the seat heights. We agreed not to go too fast as we were cycling near main roads. Elmer explained the route we would take & what we would see. We stopped at several points so he could give us the history at that given site. Elmer is fluent in english, and he always gave clear hand signals as to which way we were going. A great 2 hours experience and Elmer is not only an excellent tour guide, but a thoroughly nice person and we would recommend him to anyone of all ages!
This bicycle tour is a great way to see the heart of Rotterdam, and Elmo is a fantastic guide full of knowledge and love for his city. The trip includes many stops to stretch your legs so you are not sitting on the bike for long periods. The bike lanes in Rotterdam are well marked and smooth, with every intersection having signals just for bikes alone. Note that we used pedal bikes (not e-bikes), but we are in our mid-60’s and had no problems. I highly recommend Elmo and this tour for a great experience!
Wow Steve! You are making us blush ;) Thanks for leaving us a flying review! We are doing our best to maintain our bikes to the highest standards to make sure our tour members are happy! It was a joy showing you around in Rotterdam :) All the best! Elmer
Elmer is passionate about the city he grew up in. Rotterdam has seen dramatic change over its history. He has selected wonderful locations and topics. He tells Rotterdam's history in a personal way, not leaving out many of the ugly truths behind why things are the way they are. But above all, his optimism for the living experiment that is his growing, dynamic city shines through in his tour. This isn't a college kid who memorized some facts (although that kind of tour can be fun, too!). It's a good guy who found a way to share his knowledge and love of his home for a living. Bravo, Elmer!
Jay! What a tour we had, right!? Thanks for leaving us such a great honest review. It helps us, and of course other travelers to make the right decision. Wishing you all the best and whenever you feel like, come to Rotterdam and we do another tour! Be in touch :) - Elmer, Rottourdam Tours
Our guide Elmer was super enthusiastic, he has a lot of knowledge and turned out to be a nice talker. A true Rotterdammer with the accompanying humour. A top experience! Jos & Ruth and Koen & Sophie
