"We have been thinking for days about a nice outing for our colleague for a farewell party. After some googling we came across Food 'n Route. We started at Central Station and got our first tasty snack. There were interesting stories at special places and super fun stops at restaurants with a delicious snack. The route was super fun and the snacks were really delicious!! The contact person was super friendly. Would do it again, but then with a different route."

Our values

Making time together special

• Making real contact. Who are you, what moves you and with what can we make your time special?
• Keep the tour interactive. No endless monologues, but a dialogue, an exploration, a journey of discovery where there is room for spontaneity.
• To work together with small Rotterdam (food) entrepreneurs where a warm welcome is self-evident and who create something special with their product, service and management.
• Being aware of the impact we have on our environment: to ensure that we have a positive rather than harmful impact.
