We were very pleased with the tour. We had an enjoying walk of around 2 hours, guided by Sylvia, with good explanation and pleasant interaction. Moreover, because of a misunderstanding on our side, we missed our time slot as initially planned, but the organizers have adapted their schedules and offered a second time slot the following day, which suited very well. An activity which we definitely can recommend!

The tour guide took much too long to tell us much too little. The entire walk and information relayed could have taken 30 minutes, yet we shuffled around for 2 hours learning very little. The tour guide seemed to struggle to express themselves in English but also didn’t seem to have engaging or informative scripts prepared either. It wasn’t terrible, but I would have accepted the quality for a free tour instead of having paid £70 for two people. A few members of the group abandoned the tour midway through, and I don’t blame them. Not worth it at all.

It's a really nice Tour and touched most of the main points in Rotterdam.
The starting point is easy to find if you travel by train.
Tania was super adaptable even with the language barrier and really friendly.

Tania did a great job! She really knows her materials! I. Would definitely tour with her again. She made us forget just how cold it was the day we took her tour in January.

Rotterdam, we learned, is all about architecture. Our guide, Tanya, explained how World War 2 left the centre of the city entirely devastated by bombing, but a blank slate for redevelopment. The result is, as she stated, an architectural innovation laboratory. We were extremely fortunate that we two were the only clients on this tour, so we were able to really engage Tanya. She is a landscape architect and very knowledgeable about how the buildings relate to each other, the city's history and the overall urban design. The tour length was great, as we covered a good distance, and following how building form has evolved in the last 70 years. If you are a fan of architecture, you'll love tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed this architectural tour of Rotterdam, it was led by an architect who was able to explain why Rotterdam has embraced modern architecture. We could have easily carried on walking for a lot longer and actually went over time as it was so interesting.

We really enjoyed our time with the tour guide. She was smart, very interesting, and personable. We saw a lot of the city and learned about its history and culture. Would gladly take the tour again!

I really enjoyed my walking tour with Tania on Dec 30 in Rotterdam. I'm not an architect, just someone who likes looking at interesting buildings and she did a fantastic job of describing the concepts and history of buildings in Rotterdam. It was a really neat walk mixed in with a bit of city history. I really enjoyed my time in the city. If the weather were a bit warmer and I had more time, I would've loved to do the south city tour as well.

We learned a lot about Rotterdam. It was extremely pleasant to walk around with a with our guide who is an architect showing us all the places of interest and also not that famous but interesting places that only the local people know. If you have a short stay in that city we warmly recommend this tour - you will see everything in short time and in pleasant company.
