Overview of your Rotterdam tour
Embark with me on a captivating private walking tour of Rotterdam's city center and immerse yourself in the heart of this dynamic Dutch metropolis for three unforgettable hours. The statue 'The destroyed city' (1) resembles how the heart of Rotterdam was ripped out, after the bombardment in 1940. Only the church tower of the St. Laurens church (2) remains standing. Embracing the future, the city is rebuild with unique architectural buildings like the Markthal (3) and the Cube-houses (4). The Old Port (5) with its beautiful historic ships is a popular place among Rotterdam residents to eat and drink. From here, you see the 'Witte Huis' (6), in 1897 the highest office building of Europe. Hop on a watertaxi (7) and with high-speed you'll pass underneath the Erasmusbridge (8) and pass the iconic Euromast (9) to be taken to Delfshaven (10), from here the Pilgrim Fathers departed for their adventurous journey to the USA. Choose at which watertaxi stop you wish to end this Rotterdam Private tour.
