VIP treatment - Jareau gave us a first class, private tour of Rotterdam. He took care of all the details from the transportation and admission fees, food and drink. He was very knowledgeable. We got a great perspective of the city as we explored with subway, boats and lots of walking. He let us determine the pace of the tour and we learned so much having a personal guide. We definitely recommend this company and Jareau

Rotterdam City Tour and Kinderdijk - Our guide, Julia, was fabulous. She was a pleasure to spend the day with. The city tour was comprehensive and Julia is very knowledgeable. I had a list of places that we wanted to visit and she covered them all plus a few that I was not aware of. Sights, snacks and lunch were included. Then the Water Bus to Kinderdijk - a relaxing 40 minute ride after much walking in the city. Loved seeing the Windmills and Julia guided us through the area. A Great day with the Perfect guide. Thanks, Julia

Excellent tour. - The description of the tour didn't note that it is mostly a walking tour. As older adults, this was a challenge for us. To her credit, the guide accommodated us by converting to an auto tour for much of the day. She even used her own car to drive us. Her knowledge of the area is superb.

Fantastic tour of Rotterdam and Kinderdijk! - We did the Rotterdam + Kinderdijk: All Inclusive, Guided Private Tour this September. Our tour guide Saad was fantastic. He made the tour unique and was a wealth of knowledge about the history of Rotterdam. We enjoyed all of the sites, both big and small and came away with a great appreciation of this resilient City. We highly recommend the Tour Guys and Saad in particular!

Superb tour that is fun and impressive!! - This tour will not disappoint!!! It is an extraordinary experience filled with so many fun activities. We walked, traveled by train and boat to see this amazing city. We highly recommend the guide Julia! Talk about feeling well taken care of - she showed up prepared for anything with water, umbrellas, etc. She has a “magic” bag she carries that just happens to have anything you could possibly need in it. She expertly navigated all the sites to see and just made this one of the best tours we have ever taken. DO THIS TOUR!! And request Julia - you won’t be disappointed!

Jareau had excellent time management skills, great guide - Jareau sent us a text the day before confirming the pickup time and the specific location (entrance to hotel across street from cruise terminal - excellent because limited people at location made it easier to find each other than at the cruise terminal door). Jareau's time management skills were amazing. We walk a bit slower than many people do due to a work injury. He took us on a short walk to show us the waterfront, but I think a major part of that was to judge our walking speed. He had bought transit passes for us ahead of time. We then walked to the water taxi to Kinderdijk. (We had identified the windmills as the top site to see first) Jareau got us to the water taxi about 5 minutes early. He suggested what side of the taxi had the better views. Then he sat across the taxi to give us (and him) some alone time. He bought the tickets to the windmills and walked us to the entry way. He arranged for a docent to give us a personal tour of the museum area. He did not enter the actual windmill site, but the docents were good. Walked us back to the water taxi - we were the last 3 people to board -- very effective use of our time. Jareau continued the walking tour of Rotterdam, using the tram / subway passes to move us longer distances. He bought us sandwiches and water for lunch that we ate sitting on the wall outside St. Lawrence's church. When we were finished lunch, he walked us inside to hear a little concert being given on the pipe organ. Again - excellent time management -- the timing of the lunch meshed with the pipe organ concert start. Some more walking, We were pretty tired so he bought us a snack to perk us up. Then on to the cube houses. We went into the one made into an art museum of sorts. There we got a small print - the one item that we told him we would be interested in buying. We didn't get to see The Night Watch painting in person, but that was okay. We were ready to return to the ship after having walked about 20 thousand steps. Unbelievably excellent time management and very friendly.

Best Rotterdam Tour - It was so much fun with Monique as our tour guide. She was quite animated and very knowledgeable. She gave us so much information on the history of the places we visited and also shared so many interesting facts about them. Monique was very personable towards us that it felt like we were visiting with a really good friend. She took many photos of us on our tour, which we really appreciate. She also took us to try local food fares like herring (which we would have never tried on our own), Gouda cheese (we like the young Gouda the best), and puffertjes (mini pancakes, real good size for portion control). All in all, we were delighted by our tour. And if we were to rate Monique from 1 to 10, we would give her an eleven. ^u^

Great day in Rotterdam & Kinderdijk - Julia was a fantastic guide. She took us to many of the highlights of Rotterdam and told us the history behind them. Julia explained how the city was almost totally destroyed in WWII but a few building survived. It was a day of trying many of the different foods and sweets that the Netherlands has to offer. Julia also told of how life in the Netherlands is on a daily basis. Julia has a wonderful personality and made it a fun day to tour Rotterdam and the Kinderdijk.
