5.00Silvia was very informative, and the tour was a very interesting way to get to know Rotterdam’s past, present and future. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she was very engaging, adapting her content to the nationalities and interests within the group.

5.00Tania gave my wife and I a fabulous architectural tour of Rotterdam. Besides pointing out the relevant features of the buildings, she explains how the City center was rebuilt after WWII. And what challenges the City faces today. Tania is friendly and open, happy to talk about any questions you might have.
Good Intro to the city of Rotterdam

4.00Overall, we had a pleasant walking tour with our guide, Sylvia. I wouldn't call this a strictly architecture tour, as there was quite a bit said about social activism and the quasi-socialist function of the different structures along the route. As an architect, I would have appreciated more focus on the constructability and actual design aspects of the various buildings. I also wished the tour included a visit, even if brief, to the cube houses shown in the tour photos. Instead, we passed by them at a distance rather than actually walking through them. Aside from those minor points of constructive criticism, Sylvia did a good job. Be prepared for a walk; I believe we walked close to 12,000 steps on this tour alone.
