Awesome introduction to the sights of Rotterdam. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about his city. The bikes were safe and comfortable. 10/10 👍
Great tour of Rotterdam on a quiet Sunday. Guide was very knowledgable and made the trip interesting.
What a great way to get to know Rotterdam's highlights. Our guide Arik accompanied us competently and friendly – even our 2 teenagers (13) were really impressed, and that's not a given at that age. Based on the tour, we visited some highlights again. Just the way we imagined it. THANK YOU!
Had a lovely time cycling around Rotterdam with Nigella as our guide. Even though it was the day of the Caribbean Carnival, Nigella put together a great route taking in the sights of the city whilst avoiding all the closures of the carnival
Tom our English speaking tour guide was fantastic and took the 9 of us around all the main sights in Rotterdam. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting Rotterdam.
Such a fun tour! Our guide Tom was wonderful — patient, informative, and engaging. I appreciated Tom answering all of our questions. The number of stops was just right. The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained. I highly recommend this tour.
Nice little tour and introduction to Rotterdam. Bikes were in good shape, and our guide, Niels was friendly,helpful, and informative. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great time on our bike tour. Our guide Niels was infomative and clearly loved his city. It was a great way to explore this lovely city and we felt very safe on our bikes which were in excellent condition. Highly recommend this tour.
A great 2.5hr bike ride and tour around all the highlights of Rotterdam. The bikes were in great shape with multiple sized frames available for all sizes of people. Niels was our guide and made sure our group stayed safe and together on the approx. 7 mile route and we stopped often for him to tell us about the main sites to see. Highly recommended
I have been on many cycle tours around European cities and this was probably the best. The tour guide ( I can’t remember her name but she had a red bike) was really excellent (if slightly mad in a nice way). She made the tour and took us to lots of interesting places that we did not know existed. Thank you.
Wonderful guide Cas told us a lot of cool stuff about Rotterdam.Excellent tour and so friendly and informative.Easy cycle and good bikes.Cas is passionate about an amazing city and I could not fault this tour.Thanks Cas
Since it was a bit chilly, we had a private bike tour with owner; Ariane and Nina! It was really great, so much more info and history than my wife and I expected. The e-bikes were definitely the way to go and they were like-new. Loved the bridge crossings, highly recommend!
Excellent bike tour around Rotterdam with an informative and fun guide. Got to see so much of the city than we could on foot.
Outstanding!!! Flora was awesome. We enjoyed the beautiful city of Rotterdam and learned about its history and post-war architecture. An excellent way to really see the city and its vastness.
Flora was an amazing guide. We saw the highlights of Rotterdam from a different perspective with Laura's knowledge of the city's history, character and stories. I highly recommend it. It was super fun!
Perfect way to explore the city in a limited amount of time, especially with such a great guide as Flora.
Flora was our guide for this tour and she was lovely and very knowledgeable. She left no stone unturned and together we toured most of the city. It was so enjoyable that time really flew by and by the time it was over i was left wanting for more.
Good size group and it took in major attractions. Guide was attentive and informative. Safe and guide was clearly passionate about city
Great time and great tour. Guide was great!! Saw a lot of Rotterdam in a small amount of time. Very organized and manageable for all biking levels.
Flora is an excellent tour guide, we learned so much on this tour! We first learned about the rules of the road and she made biking around the city very safe and very fun. We thought we could not come to Holland without renting a bike! We covered so much more ground than we would have if we had gone on a walking tour. We went across both bridges, and Laura took us to several fantastic outlooks. We can’t recommend enough!
Everyone in my tour group enjoyed the sights, the stories, and eachother. We had a diverse group of people ranging from teenagers to eighty year-olds, Dutch and international visitors. Niels, our local guide explained the context that lead to the transformation of Rotterdam. He answered individual questions from all of us. The tour was well paced and included attractions that gave a balanced view of Rotterdam.
Brilliant tour. Alice was a fantastic guide who created a really fun atmosphere. The bikes were really easy, such a great way to see the city.
A fantastic overview of the city and many of it's inspiring architectural buildings. Our guide, Anna Marie, has lived in the city for over thirty years so knew her stuff. We covered so much more ground than we would have by walking. There was some rain but kitted out with ponchos we didn't get too soaked! We loved seeing the city by bike and with such a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would definitely recommend.
Really good tour, learned so much. Ann-Marie was a great guide, friendly, relaxed and helpful. We went yesterday and it was really enjoyable even though it was raining. A very fascinating city.
Flora was an excellent guide for a group with mixed bicycling experience. Also very knowledgeable about Rotterdam.
Nice tour, good overview of the city, interesting explanations by Flora, and much info for the rest of our weekend in Rotterdam.
Great tour guide lots of information at each stop. Great bikes so light and very comfy. Flora was brilliant! Highly recommend each eco ally if you’re only in Rotterdam for a day.
Great guide Peter and his Niece , Antonia. Very informative and friendly. Learned alot about the city. Easy cycling. Rotterdam is so flat and set up for this activity.
We had a great tour with Rob and Nina. It was very informative at a pace for all ages. It showed us parts of Rotterdam that we would not have found ourselves.
This bike tour through Rotterdam was perfect! Especially since I only had one day in Rotterdam and didn't know what to see and do in my short time. I booked the tour and do not regret it because it made the most of my day in Rotterdam. The tour has you ride around all over Rotterdam exploring its cool architecture, buildings, and locations. But on top of seeing everything there is to see, you also learn the history of the city, how its rebuilt itself after the war, and what it plans for the future are as well. The bikes are very well maintained and looked amazing upon arrival. They have three gear settings which make it easy to navigate around the city as some of the bridges do have rather steep inclines. My tour guide Alice was also FANTASTIC. Alice made sure everyones safety was her top priority. She made sure to lead the group through the city safely and efficiently while also making sure no one fell behind. She also provided plenty of times for breaks and was always willing to answer any questions we might have about the tour or city. She is super knowledgeable and fun. If I am back in Rotterdam with friends or family, I would definitely take them on this tour as it is perfect. And would try my best to get Alice again! Overall amazing tour.
The ride was very pleasant and gave you a feel of daily life of the people of Rotterdam. Neils(spelling)? was very knowledgeable about the city and we saw many of the city’s famous spots. Even got to ride over the Erasmus bridge (very windy) which offered a wonderful view. All in all it was a great choice to feel the city not as a tourist but almost as a resident!
What a fun way to see the city. Join the locals and bike to all the sites, our guide, an absolute gem of a man, full of interesting commentary and history lessons, who produced stroopwaffles for a power boost near the end of the tour.
Great tour of Rotterdam, strongly recommend it. Niels was a great host, it was a pleasant and relaxed ride.
Peter was pleasant and very informative. He was ready with pictures and reference materials and pleasant. Would definitely recommend him. The weather was great and although the majority of land was flat, be prepared for a mild workout.
We realized their bikes were too heavy and after a knee replacement we needed to cancel but they refused a small or partial refund
Niels was a brilliant guide. Very informative and paced the ride just right. Saw lots of different places. A very varied ride.
Always beautiful to experience cities on a cycle but it was more special to experience Rotterdam with Niels! Passionate about the city and its stories, he presented the tour with love and sparkling stories. Must say that this highlight tour by Inside Rotterdam covered essential parts of the city, and some of the best views. Looking forward to exploring more with them in the future, as I am not this is just a beginning for me to explore this beautiful city. Thanks Niels and team again.
Alice was awesome! Could not have asked for a better way to spend an afternoon in Rotterdam. The bikes are well maintained and the route was easy on the pedal bikes ( even for mom). We got alot of fun information and helped up plan the things we wanted to explore after the tour. Can not recommend this trip enough. Thanks again Alice for making our trip so special.
Lovely way to see the sights and learn so much about the city. Anne-Marie was very friendly and professional. When we went it was Kings Day and the city was very busy indeed but she managed to navigate us through and to quieter areas too.
Discovering a city by bike is the best way to get a flavor of a city. Ariane is an enthusiastic leader with a bubbly personality. The 14km ride was easy, the bike in excellent condition. I was sent some pics by Ary of the ride as a keepsake. Highly recommended.
A great way to delve into Rotterdam and visit some major landmarks of the city. Not enough biking for me (10 kms) but other than that, I had a great time. The group was the perfect size and our guide, Ariane, was excellent: dynamic, nice, with a great sense of humor. Her colleagues for the day were great, too, and they had some nice tips about the marathon for me ☺️
Really great well-paced, interesting and fun tour with Ariane. She made us all feel welcome and it was a great shared experience. Children (age 12 and 13) thought it was great too and learnt so much!
A great way to see a lot of the city in a short space of time - the guide was excellent, and really knew her stuff! The 'refreshment stop', which happened later in the tour (a 'Craft' brewery), was great - just what one needed after pedalling those few miles! Would certainly do another of these tours when we go back next time....
What a great way to see the city. It was such great fun. I would recommend this bike tour. Suitable for ages between 15 - 65 only saying that as you can get spread out
Brilliant intro to the city. It's history, people and art. Exactly what you need. As a local Ariane knew everything and was able to give good recommendations for the rest of our time in the city.
Ariane gave us an excellent bicycle tour of both some main attractions and lesser-known areas of Rotterdam! Very much enjoyed the ride and small group. Perfect balance of just a bit of information and enough time to see each site, without being overwhelmed. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was personable and knowledgeable. We went to interesting places, saw a lot, and never felt rushed. The bikes were easy to ride and were well maintained. During my stay in the Netherlands I did city bike tours in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. This tour by "Inside Rotterdam" was by far my favorite.
Excellent views of the city. Adrianna was great very friendly and with a great knowledge of her city
A great way to see Rotterdam! Ariane was friendly, informative and clearly passionate about Rotterdam and this made for an excellent bike tour. The bikes were sturdy and easy to use and the pace was gentle. I would recommend this tour, we definitely wouldn't have seen half of what we did by foot. Excellent - thank you Ariane!
