The bike tour was an excellent experience. Elmer is a friendly and flexible guide. He shares things about the city that you won’t find in written guides. I definitely recommend choosing this activity. In three hours, Elmer takes you through all the main and important sights of Rotterdam. The ride is not demanding — it’s pleasant. With this tour, you also get to experience the true Dutch urban cycling vibe.
Wondeful discovering of the city

Elmer was an extremely knowledgeable and attentive tour guide. He ensured I had detailed instructions to get to the starting location. When I got there he made sure the bike fit and I had a helmet so I felt safe and comfortable. Elmer took me all through Rotterdam telling me interesting things about its history, charm, and significance. He showed me Rotterdam through a local’s eyes and of course made sure we saw all the places of interest, but also showed me places I would never have found on my own. Elmer made it fun and personalized. When we come back we will book another tour with Elmer. After the tour he let me know what we didn’t get to and created another tour for me. It was amazing. Thanks Elmer
Highly recommended
