5.00Yoreh was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a wealth of info to share. This tour is a lovely intro to Rotterdam. I wouldn't have minded if it was a couple hours longer LOL. Walking in and around some of the highlights of the city was wonderful. Definitely leave time at the end of your tour to dine at Markthal where your tour will finish. I was disappointed I didn't have more time to explore this delightful city.
Amazing day in Rotterdam!

5.00It was such an informative tour. We loved learning about the history of the city. How the city suffered devastation with war and rebuilt and continues to do so. You're was amazing and who else to get the story from other than someone who has lived here their whole life!
