Born and bred in Rotterdam and I know my city inside out. I have been working as a tour guide for small groups in Rotterdam for more than 20 years. It is my passion and enthusiasm for my home town that I love to share with visitors to Rotterdam and around. I studied political science and history at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. My interests and expertise cover a wide range of subjects, but architecture, history, art and sports are my favorites. In addition to showing the most famous sights, I like to wander off the beaten track and show the visitor lesser known and surprising spots and aspects of the city. I am well traveled and have seen a lot of the world already- 60+ countries and counting! My broad experience in dealing with both Dutch and international guests help me in making your visit a memorable one. Rotterdam is close to both Delft and the Hague. Both these historic Dutch cities can be included in a longer tour. The same goes for the Windmills of Kinderdijk. My tours can be carried out in English, German, French, Swedish or Dutch. The set up of my tours is flexible and can be customized to meet your needs and interests as much as possible. When your group is larger than the indicated maximum for a specific tour this can be customized as well. Please let me know.

Rotterdam has risen to world fame because of its modern architecture. The last few decades Rotterdam has seen the realisation of a number of beautiful, impressive or striking buildings, that deservedly draw the attention of experts and tourists alike. Admire cutting edge and spectacular sky scraping buildings, apartment blocks, offices and public buildings that shape the city and its skyline. You will learn more about the buildings, styles and backgrounds and features of the buildings. This way you will get an complete picture of the development of recent Rotterdam, Dutch and global architecture. In addition to Dutch architects like Kristiaanse, Neutelings&Riedijk, Benthem & Crouwel, Houben, MVRDV and Rotterdam born yet world famous Rem Koolhaas, some internationally acclaimed names like Foster, Piano, Jahn, Alsop and Siza have made their mark on the Rotterdam scene.
Terrific tour with Eddy. We covered a lot of ground literally and architecturally. His knowledge is vast and detailed. And, he’s well read in general, so he’s a good person to spend time with. I’d book this trip again to cover what we didn’t have time for, next time I’m in Rotterdam.
Eddy is an excellent guide and the perfect person to take you on a 3-hour modern architecture tour of Rotterdam. It was just the two of us for that time, and I felt very interested and engaged the entire duration of our tour. Best yet, he is an authority on the new train station, where we met, so the tour from your very first steps, makes you appreciate the way history and architecture go hand in hand to create a unique environment and special landscape. I would gladly and eagerly go on a tour of other cities with Eddy.
A superb introduction to Rotterdam's unique collection of Modern Architecture (along with a bit of history and culture). Highly recommended
Eddie was a very knowledgeable guide and provided historical background as well current developments and international context. I would recommend this guide for anyone who would like to know about the fabulous architecture of Rotterdam.
Our tour was excellent- we are two 60+ British travellers interested in architecture but not professionals, no training. Eddy showed us the huge range of amazing architecture in Rotterdam in a gentle 3 hour walking tour. Eddy could answer all our questions and pitched it at a perfect level for our knowledge and interest. We met at the station and parted near the food hall. Excellent English of course. Would highly recommend
Eddy was a professional guide who was well prepared. I really recommend Eddys tour!
