5.00One of the best tours I have ever taken. Yoreh not only provides in-depth information on the history, architecture, and main sites of Rotterdam, but he also provides the context and details that make the information more fascinating and relatable. Yoreh utilizes many photos to illustrate the major changes that occurred as a result of all the destruction that occurred during WWII. He is a wealth of information about the city and provides many recommendations. If you are visiting Rotterdam, this is a must do tour.
Best city walking tour ever

5.00An easy stroll (with a coffee and wc break) through the center of Rotterdam. It was a good intro to the city and its history plus ideas of things to do after…We saw many interesting things we would have otherwise missed and our guide showed us hidden gardens and wonderful architectural details, museums, etc.
