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.

Overview of your Rotterdam tour

Get to know the city with many faces. On this tour you will see the major sights in the centre of Rotterdam. I will fill you in on the history of the city, from its humble beginnings as a fishing village to the major port on a global scale it is today. You will see how old and new get on harmoniously side by side. New architectural works of art next to some centuries old houses and churches that survived. You will hear some interesting anecdotes as we will also visit some lesser known spots that will give you a different and surprising new perspective on Rotterdam and its people. As your private tour guide, I can adjust the schedule, duration and activities to meet your needs. Please let me know of any special requests you have.
