What a wonderful way to see the city, especially when having only a short time to stay in Rotterdam. Our guide was kind and energetic and very knowledgable about a city that clearly she loves. Rotterdam stands out as being one of the most amazing cities, culturally and architecturally - my only wish is that we would have had time to go back to the market another day on our own.
Great

Astrid gave a great tour. She was knowledgeable and made all our stops fun. The food was great. In fact I am sitting at one of the restaurants we went to. (It is the next day.) Highly recommended!

This tour was a fantastic way to see the city of Rotterdam and taste a variety of local cuisine. The foods we tasted were surprising and also filling. Enjoyed each one highlighting a different culture in Rotterdam. Perry our guide did a great job explaining how the cultures have made it to Rotterdam and how their foods influenced each area. During our tour he also highlighted many architectural features throughout the city. It was an amazing tour and Perry was absolutely the best. Be prepared to walk as you cover a lot of ground.

The amazing and incomparable Astrid led our fantastic walking food tour of Rotterdam. We met at the location which was easy to find. From the beginning. Astrid was welcoming and so knowledgeable about the city. Her food stops were on point, and we "tasted" a variety of cultures throughout the tour. We appreciated her insight into the city's storied history and various neighborhoods. My husband, an architect, appreciated the variety of buildings we observed. What a wonderful experience we had, and we owe these incredible Rotterdam finds and memories to Astrid!
Ended up a private tour.

When others cancelled late they still have my hubby and I the tour. Several food stops some dutch some not. They Chinese dumplings were excellent. I even liked the herring. Ends at an out of the way bar brewery with custom beers. Do not choose the American options indicated by me (new England).
Second best tour, EVAH!

My wife and I (75yrs old) have done a couple of dozen food tours around the world. In all seriousness, the was THE BEST (2cd best was a joke for our tour guide). We had 6 food stops and many more cultural and architectural stops. Amesh (I called him MESS!🤣) had perfect English and was over top knowledgeable about Rotterdam’s history, architecture AND food. We hit many of Rotterdam’s highlight areas and a couple off the beaten path. The food was AMAZING! It varied from fried to fresh and from fish to meat to cheeses. Sooooo good. As to MESS, think of the movie Slumdog Millionaire and square root that character and you might come close to approximating MESS encyclopedic vault of knowledge about Rotterdam and the Netherlands. After the tour, the entire tour group (4) went for a final beer and stayed and talked another 2 hrs! Who stays at “work” for two hours without getting paid?!! If you do not take this tour, you are going to leave Rotterdam with half the experience. SCREW THE YANKEES. GO RED SOX!
Best tour guide in Rotterdam!

Umesh, our tour guide was absolutely the best! His knowledge of history, culture, politics and art were outstanding! We learned so much on this food tour. The food choices were as diverse as the the people of Rotterdam and all very tasty! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our visit in Rotterdam.

This was a great intro to the city, combining bits of history, culture, and public art with food and drink. The food stops each represented local favorites. Despite the blustery weather, Astrid made the day enjoyable and an excellent way to spend a few hours in town.
