“Super fun. Very well put together and organised. Really different products, varied. All from enthusiastic, unique businesses/entrepreneurs who also like to tell stories warmly.”
“It was so nice to meet all the owners, who were all so lovely and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious! Being guided around ourselves was great as we had all the information we needed on our phone but could do it at our own pace. We feel like we saw so much of Rotterdam, including the hidden gems. If you’re going to do anything in Rotterdam, I’d say this tour is an absolute must!”
“We come from Rotterdam but have now been to addresses that were unknown to us! We really enjoyed the city and the hospitality of everyone.”
