Rotterdam Bike Tour
We will meet you 10 minutes before start of the tour at 1e Blekerhof 26. See directions below. From there we will pick up the bikes and start our city exploration.
In the bike tour you will see all the famous Rotterdam Highlights, but also visit real hidden treasures you otherwise wouldn't find. Highlights include the Cube houses, the Markthal, The beautiful Depot of Boijmans, and the Erasmusbridge. You will not hear the standard info, but the behind the scenes stories and fun facts. A little over half of the tour you will have a break at the Fenix Food Factory, a very nice alternative indoor market. At some locations we will park the bike and go in, for example at the Markthal. During the bike tour I will give you many insider tips and point out local restaurants, places for going out, shopping and sightseeing. A good idea to do this tour at the beginning of your stay so you will get a real insider experience.
After approximately 2,5 hours we will back at the Leuvehaven.

Architecture walk Rotterdam
Begin your walking exploration of Rotterdam's highlights when you meet your guide under the clock at the modern Central Station at 10 AM. Then head to the city center, passing post-war reconstruction monuments such as the shopping area, Lijnbaan. Stop for a photo of the Timmerhuis building, rising like a cloud of glass and steel above the city. Hear about Rotterdam's history from your guide, an expert on architecture and art history. Explore landmarks such as the pre-World War II Laurens church, Rotterdam's Cube Houses, and the modern Markthal building, famous for its ceiling artwork. Relax over a snack at the indoor market before continuing your walk. Stroll along the river Maas, taking in the impressive views, and see the new developments on the south bank before concluding around 12:00 PM on the riverside with an Amazing skyline view.

History of Rotterdam – private tour
HISTORY OF ROTTERDAM
During this tour, my goal is to show you how Rotterdam’s unique history shaped the city. I will cover the history from roughly 1300 onward: from the birth and development of the city, to its destruction in 1940, and how Rotterdam rose from its ashes to become the intriguing city it is today. To enhance your understanding, I will bring along several (historic) maps and also touch upon Dutch history and culture in general.
PRIVATE WALKING TOUR
In 3 hours, we will traverse the city center by foot: from pre-war parts that survived the bombing, to reconstructed and newer areas. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a local or new to the city. This is a private tour, which allows me to cater exactly to your needs and prior knowledge of Rotterdam and the Netherlands.

Tasty Food Tour in Rotterdam
Customers will be taken on a three-hour food tour, where they’ll pass by five local and unique places while they discover the city through its cuisine. The customers will discover Rotterdam through their tastebuds. I want to search for dishes which symbolize the city and then go to places where they do this at it's best. During the tour I'll tell about Rotterdam and it's history (and the history of the food), but we will also pass by the local chefs who can tell a lot about the city and her dishes as well. The tour includes:
- 8-9 tastings, with optional drinks.
- A food and travel loving tour guide.
- A personal e-mail before and after the tour with food and travel tips about the Netherlands.
Rooftop tour
Join us on a discovery tour of innovative and exclusive rooftops in the centre of Rotterdam.
An enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide from Inside Rotterdam will take you on a tour of four roofs that are normally restricted or inaccessible. You will see what is already happening on the rooftops and hear about the ambitions of the city. Along the way, you will enjoy beautiful views of Rotterdam's skyline.
This tour is surprising, informative and inspiring. You will see the city from a different perspective and learn about the city of the future and the crucial role of rooftops. After this tour, you will forever realise how much more is possible with rooftops in general and with your own roof (if you have one...)

On the route there is a series of art dedicated to the drama of the bombarded city, a fresh mix of street art, a spread of art masterpieces whose artists names speak for themselves: Henry Moore, Roden, Picasso, Van Lieshout. Our guide brings you to the most popular art venue – the young, avant-garde Witte de Wit street.

Draw Rotterdam with a city sketcher
The first thing you need to know is: You don't need any drawing experience! I draw Rotterdam is suitable for every drawing level. I will help you. I will give advice and show easy and somewhat more difficult options.
We walk approximately 2.5 kilometers in the center of Rotterdam. We pass several beautiful places to draw your own personal large "Greetings from Rotterdam postcard".
Discover the city in a different way. Not just wandering around, but stopping to draw what you see. A relaxed experience in a lively city.
We start with a Polaroid of yours and place it in the middle of a sheet of A4 size paper. Around the Polaroid we draw typical Rotterdam items such as: the Markthal, cube houses, Laurenskerk, statue of Marten Toonder, bicycles and decorative elements from the city and nature. We draw in a simple and fast way. I give advice for "Handlettering" (writing in a nice way).
Ultimately you have your own handmade "Greetings from Rotterdam postcard". You can take a photo and post it on social media, you can sent it to friends or family or bring it back home as a reminder of your afternoon drawing in Rotterdam.

If it rains, I have to cancel unfortunately. We can then plan a new date.
Голландия для своих групповая экскурсия по Роттердаму
В Роттердаме строят плавучие фермы и небоскребы, посреди реки плавают скверы с деревьями, а зимой в частном саду выращивают вишни. Здесь делают “кожаные” вещи из апельсиновой кожуры, устраивают огороды на крышах, под настроение меняют конфигурацию комнат в апартаментах, прогуливаться предпочитают метрах в пяти-семи над землей, а через реку плавают на автобусах. А уж то, что из старинных складов делают потрясающие апартаменты, а многие общественные здания полностью автономны, обеспечивая себя энергией и перерабатывая собственный мусор, - так это уже и вовсе дело привычное.
Экскурсия эта в первую очередь ориентирована на рассказ о современной архитектуре, градостроительных концепциях, социальных и технологических инновациях, экопроектах, образовании и образе жизни. И все это - страшно увлекательно, удивительно и даже, в некотором роде, легкомысленно:).
