Pickup Information

*note that during this tour we get around by walking and public transportation, there is no transportation by car* Small-Group Private Touring To keep our tours personal, high-quality and financially sustainable, some smaller bookings may be combined with other guests traveling at the same time. TourGroups are intentionally kept small — usually between 2 and 8 guests, with an absolute maximum of 10 people — allowing for a flexible, interactive and personal experience that still feels far more intimate than traditional group tours. Unlike large bus-style tours, our experiences remain locally guided, relaxed and adaptable to the group. This approach also allows us to continue including extras, local insights and the authentic TourGuys experience without compromising quality. Guests looking for a fully exclusive experience can always contact us for a custom private booking option.

Itinerary

1. Kijk-Kubus
In the 70s of the 20th century, architects wanted to create hospitable residential areas with the participation of the residents and other users in response to the large-scale and a gray modernism of the architecture of the reconstruction after WWII.
Duration: 30 mins
2. Luchtsingel
In 2011, the municipality of Rotterdam organized the first city initiative, an administrative instrument to stimulate administrative innovation and citizen participation. The inhabitants of Rotterdam were called upon to submit projects that would bring about the enlivening of the city and improve the quality of life in the city. An amount of 4 million has been set aside from the city initiative to implement the project.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Rotterdam Tourist Information Coolsingel
A visit to an tourist information centre that will give you more information about the city and warm welcome by our mayor. Your TourGuy will accompany you through the exhibition.
Duration: 15 mins
4. Stationsplein 2
before the Second World War there was no Central Station, but there were four stations around the center. In 1957, the central station was opened at its current location. In 2004 a total renovation of the central station was started, in 2014 the current end result was delivered. The old station could no longer cope with the passenger influx.
Duration: 15 mins
5. Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk
The laurenskerk is the only remnant of the medieval center of Rotterdam. The laurenskerk is a cross between a hall church (all buildings equal in height) and a cruciform basilica (here the side towers are lower than the main tower). The church was built between 1449 and 1525.
Duration: 30 mins
6. Markthal
The interior façade of the Markthal is covered with an 11,000 m² (two football fields) artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, entitled Hoorn des Overvloeds. This title refers to the Cornucopia, a horn from Greek mythology that symbolizes abundance and saturation. The artwork shows greatly enlarged fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, flowers and insects. In the background you can also see the Laurenskerk with tower.
Duration: 30 mins
7. Nieuwe Delftse Poort
In the Middle Ages, one of the 10 city gates that Rotterdam had here. In the 30s, the city of Rotterdam grew rapidly and the gate stood in the way, as they wanted a better flow for the increasing traffic. It was decided to move the gate about 100 meters (a demolition of the gate met with a lot of resistance). During the bombardment in the Second World War, the gate was severely damaged, a year after the bombing the gate was demolished, because it could no longer be finished. Some ornamental works from the old gate were saved and incorporated into the walls of the buildings on the corner of the town hall square.
Duration: 15 mins
8. Oude Haven
Not much of the historic center has remained intact during the Second World War, but the Oude Haven is fortunately one of those historic places that has been preserved. In the harbor are historic, charming old boats, while on the quays you will find a colourful mix of buildings.
Duration: 15 mins
9. Witte Huis
The white house was built in 1889 and with a height of 43 meters the first skyscraper in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
