Discover Rotterdam with a local guide on this walking tour, covering top landmarks and hidden gems. Learn all about the history of the city, from its roots in the 1200s and the devastating WWII bombardments, to its post-WWII rebirth, the major harbor, architecture, culture, and beyond.

- Some highlights: Cube Houses, Markthal, Old Harbor Erasmus bridge and Art Depot

- Some hidden Gems: Veerhaven, Shipping Quarter

- Themes: History, Culture, Harbor, WWII, Architecture: Present and Future.

- Small group of maximum 15 people.

The 2- vs. 3-hour walking tour:

In short, the two-hour tour gives you an overview and idea of the city, while the three-hour tour can help you really understand Rotterdam. The routes go even more to the core; the stories are more in-depth, and visualization is even richer. But, you can never go wrong with either choice.
