Rotterdam: Private Walking Tour with Cube House Entry
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Rotterdam is unlike any other Dutch city. Bombed almost entirely to the ground during WWII, it rebuilt itself from scratch and became a laboratory for bold, experimental architecture. The result is one of Europe's most visually striking cities.
On this private walking tour, you explore the highlights of Rotterdam with your own guide. You visit the Old Harbor, and see the iconic Cube Houses up close. Your tour includes entry into one of them, so you can see for yourself what it looks like to live inside one.
Along the way, your guide tells the story of Rotterdam: from St. Lawrence Church, the only medieval building in the city center to survive the 1940 bombing, to the Witte Huis, the oldest skyscraper in Europe, to the spectacular modern Markthal.
This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have a special interest in a certain topic, just let your guide know.

What To Expect
The Markthal
We start our tour on the Blaak area. This is the place where Rotterdam has its origins: a dam in the river Rotte. Nowadays, it is a lively area with a market twice per week!
Markthal
This building has become an icon for the city. We will enter the impressive Market Hall (Markthal). The two sides of the building contain many apartments and inside you can enjoy different foods from around the world. And don't forget to look up and look at one of the biggest pieces of art on the planet!

5.00Fleur was informative and entertaining! She showed us many highlights and always had a story about the history of the architecture, political climate, and social movements of the day--in an approachable and funny way, of course! Would recommend!

5.00I did this tour with my family (me, hubby and 2 teenage kids) and we have been quite impressed by this part of Rotterdam. The guide was fun, relaxed and informed and allowed us to set our own pace. For our next visit to the country, we will certainly explore Rotterdam further!
