ロッテルダム必見ツアー：見どころ、歴史、WW2と建築

Great way to spend a few hours in Rotterdam! With a week in the Netherlands, we were keen to see more than Amsterdam. This tour was a perfect introduction to the port city of Rotterdam. Heavily bombed in WWII and mostly destroyed by fire, this city is different to the others we’ve seen. Modern and interesting architecture, wide streets, plenty of sculptures, and more. Edwin was the perfect guide. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered all of our questions and gave lots of information. He showed us the remaining pre WWII large buildings, museums, the famous cube houses , took us into the market, and suggested places for us to visit after the tour. We also appreciated that he offered to take a few photos of us. Most importantly, on a very hot day he kept us cool by sticking to the shade. Thoroughly recommend booking a walking tour with Edwin.

The guide was punctual, engaged, and very friendly. However, this does not change the fact that from our perspective, the content quality of the tour was very poor. The explanations were very superficial, and even upon further questions, the guide could not provide in-depth answers. Even the basic facts were missing, for example, who built what and when. Simply naming an attraction is not enough. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing, despite the nice guide.

Our tour guide (and I wish I had gotten his name) was exceptional. He was both informative and entertaining. He answered all my questions, even about stuff that he wasn't currently talking about re Rotterdam. The tour covered the many points of interest the city has to offer. I messed up a little and couldn't initially find the meeting point. Called the help number and they got me there right away. I may have missed the guide introducing himself, hence I don't have his name. One suggestion to the guide is to get an app that allows us to tip him via credit card. It's a bit expensive for some of us to trade our home currency for euros (for some of us...).

The guide just charged ahead without looking back to see whether all his guests are following n catching up with him. He moves very fast n most often. my husband n I were left far behind, sometimes 50-80 m behind. We couldn't enjoy the scenery we passed. Although he's quite witty n knowledgeable, I found he's not aware of his guests' needs. His comments are very general in nature. So I felt I didn't learn much on this tour as he's more concerned about telling us what he's on his mind. I did tip him. Although none of the other guests did!

Paola was excelent and gave us a good understanding of Rotterdam history and architecture timeline and population statistics.

Wear layers, bring water and use the restroom. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Susan is very knowledgeable and we liked the small private tour.

Susan had a wealth of knowledge of Rotterdam - history, interesting stories and location snippets, pace was good and she encouraged questions. Only 3 in the group so it was an excellent and informative experience. Love Rotterdam!

Very nice tour, almost private. Paula was very knowledgeable tour guide and provided a lot of history and insights of the city. we truly enjoyed walking at our pace and learning the city

The meeting point was clear and easy to find. My guide, Paula, gave not just history and a well paced tour, she provided insight into the evolution of the city through a lens of art, religion and culture bringing depth to the tour.

It was a fantastic way to see the city’s sights and unique architecture. Our guide Edwin was knowledgeable and engaging.. Just overall a great person and the cube house visit was a nice extra at the end. A must for anyone visiting Rotterdam!
