Our guide was originally from Rotterdam and put his heart and soul into it (also in German). Which resulted in it being a bit longer. We had no objection to that. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Rotterdam. At the end you could ask questions and get personal tips. The tour is highly recommended!

We had the tour alone with the guide, he showed us interesting places and also told a lot about the history. In addition to the usual tourist attractions, places were also shown that he called insider tips ;-) We felt comfortable and understood everything. A Dutchman who speaks German with a Bavarian accent is really worth hearing! (The intended guide is probably canceled due to illness)

Stephan is a really good guide! Very informative and service oriented. Know a lot about the city and especially about things worth knowing that you don't hear in the standard guide. Walk took 3 hours instead of 2 hours. Could have lasted an hour longer for us, we thought it was fun and informative. Geert Jan and Inge van Ark
