“Had a great afternoon with the bike tour through Rotterdam! The most beautiful places, the stories, and the history and gradually an increasingly complete picture of this impressive city. Really worth it!”
“One of my favorite bike tours ever. Really nice and knowledgeable guides. I felt safe riding through the city. They have great stops on their tour. You could feel their love for the city.”
“Very warm welcome. I even got a scarf because it was relatively windy. The tour was very relaxed and not strenuous at all. We got to see the nicest places and were told a lot about them. 10/10!”
“Excellent tour of Rotterdam with some things you wouldn’t find or know on your own, and with information about the better known things you might not notice.”
“This tour was a great way to see Rotterdam! Our friendly and informative guide gave us a great mix of must-see and off-the-beaten-path stops, while adding in bits of Rotterdam culture. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience R’dam the way the Dutch do — by bike.”
