Visit to Rotterdam

Kathy_C, May 2026

Susan was a very informative guide who took us on a very interesting tour of the city and pointed out the varied architectural sites including a visit to the cube houses. We sampled their special frites with mayo, onions, and peanut sauce, along with some croquets.

Excellent tour!

Serene_M, Jan 2026

We had an excellent day and food tour with Susan. She was flexible as we’d recently done a food tour in Amsterdam so some things could have been the same. She was very helpful at the conclusion to get us where we needed to be.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food tour and that Susan made the day flexible and smooth—she’ll be happy to hear this!

Great walking tour

Charlotte_R, Apr 2024

We had a really lovely tour and thoroughly enjoyed learning from the very knowledgeable Susan! Slight criticism in that we thought it should of been called a walking tour with food, rather than a food walking tour but still found it fantástic and enjoyed the experience

Disappointing food tour

John_S, Aug 2023

We were booked on this food tour on a Monday morning and nothing was open! We thought it was a food tour so we didn’t eat breakfast. We were starving by the time we did actually try one food. This tour cost 300 for 4 people and our guide spent 30 on food. They should have marketed this tour as a walking tour and NOT a food tour. Very disappointed. I think we should get a credit for half the money. It was only a two hour tour! Guide tried his best but still very disappointed!

Perfect introduction to Rotterdam

Karen_R, Jun 2023

Susan was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. We had a fabulous tour today. She was very nice about not pushing us too fast. I like to take pictures along a tour and she let me do so with no problem. Enjoyed the food tasting, but some of the portions were quite large.

Excellent intro to Rotterdam and Dutch food

Judith_L, Jun 2023

Susan was an excellent tour guide, providing history and examples of current and past culture. We had the opportunity to see the unique architecture that Rotterdam is known for. We had samples of Dutch food that we enjoyed thoroughly.

Rotterdam. Who knew!!

Harriet_m, Jul 2022

Belgium beer and fresh herring! Susan was delightful! I didn't know Rotterdam was so interesting. She spoke of all the different architecture in the city and the philosophy of the designs. Quite intersting. Also the food hall and fresh herring! Yum!!!

This was not a food tour

Jana_E, Jun 2022

I wanted to advise that while we had a very nice history and architecture tour of Rotterdam- we did not get a food tour as promised. I don’t know what to say. We literally did not sample anything and walked 6 miles. I really am dissatisfied. Not with The guide—she did her job per se giving us a history lesson-but not food—so what was the confusion here? I kept thinking it was going to turn into a food sampling. Like, for example, she said “Now let’s make our way to Chinatown..” but no we didn’t get any food there- we talked about landscaping. I just got frustrated. If you’re looking for a true food tour where you sample local tastes and specialties— this was not it. We even politely contacted the owner to advise him of what happened and got no refund nor apology. So I feel obligated to leave this review.

Informative and fun!!!

Lisa_D, Jun 2022

Michel was an amazing tour guide!!! Informative, personable and entertaining! We would highly recommend!!

Great guide, tasty bites!

Dwight_G, Apr 2022

Our tour guide Susan was very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed seeing the sights, sounds and tasty bites of Rotterdam.

More than fries and croquets

Victor_B, Apr 2022

Susan, our tour guide was wonderful. She customized the tour tour to our tastes and experiences. Since we have lived in Germany for three years, we have already experienced some of the "recommended foods" of the The Netherlands. She was also a wealth of information, and told us so much about the culture of Rotterdam. Plus her work with Ukrainian refugees is an inspiration.

Super fun!

MICHAELLEO_D, Sep 2021

Our tour guide Stephan was amazing! He even helped us navigate Rotterdam after our tour! Thank you!!

Amazing tour!!!

Peters, Jun 2020

Our guide Stephan was the best! He had so much knowledge about everything. Rotterdam is an amazing city, nothing like Amsterdam. Stephan was very knowledgeable, kind and easy going. The food tastings were delicious. This tour is a MUST DO!! Thank you Stephan, you are the best!
