Great personalized tour - I walked easily from my cruise ship to the meet pointin Rotterdam. With Albert as our guide, no aspect was missing. He brought us into many cultural and historical insights of the fantastic city.
It was about 20 miles of city biking at a leisurely pace. Just brief stops and then on, stopping only for beer and coffee etc Help Albert built his small business. Great Guide!

Amazing way to explore Rotterdam - I’m not much of a cyclist, but I decided to try this bike tour with Rottourdam, and it was totally worth it. Elmer, our guide, was super friendly and knew a lot about Rotterdam. The Yellow Cube Houses were such a cool stop, and I loved to cycle over the Erasmus Bridge. Quick suggestion, it would have been great if we would have been provided with a little snack for extra energy, maybe a stroopwafle :). Overall, the cycle tour was an awesome way to explore the city. Highly recommend!
