No show, no stars.
No show at the meeting point (arrived early and waited 30 mins). Called the number provided, no reply. No call to us saying there was an issue either. Did our own tour instead. Refund please.

A fascinating tour to discover the history of Rotterdam
Suzanne is a fascinating guide: she knows how to share her knowledge about the architecture of Rotterdam with humor and simplicity, including to tourists like us who knew absolutely nothing about it! It is a very pleasant tour that combines the history and contemporary life of the city and its inhabitants! Thanks!

Good general walking tour of Rotterdam hitting the major sites
Good walking tour that orients you to the city of Rotterdam. Powla was a great guide who is passionate about the city and arts. She showed us several unique points in the city while providing a good historical overview of Rotterdam and its past. Using the sites she showed us, I was able to then easily navigate and plan specific spots to visit later. The cube houses were quite interesting.

Lovely, but slow down!
It was a very informative walking tour, but the guide walked way too fast. Some of us lost sight of him and it took a while to find him
