The Netherlands · ROTTERDAM TOURS
Bombed flat in 1940 and rebuilt as an argument for modern architecture, Rotterdam reads best from the water. These 15 cover the harbour cruises, the cube houses and the market hall, plus the day trips out to Kinderdijk, with prices and durations.

Explore Kinderdijk’s 19 historic windmills with museum access, a polder boat ride, pumping station, and audio guide near Rotterdam.
“This is a self guided tour! Once you have bought a ticket, make your way there and start walking! Or you can catch the charming little boat that takes you to the small distance stop off points where you can actually go into two of the 19 operating windmills - the oldest from 1635 I think...do get chatting to your boat hosts and the fellows running the windmills and do watch the vidoes on the boats (only 9 minutes)”
Cruise Rotterdam’s Maas River for skyline views, port history, the Erasmus Bridge, open-deck breezes, and optional coffee and cake.
“It was perfect ride for my father (80 years old) and my mother (71 years). The tour guide spoke English and also French as well as other language but I forget what. A lot of information that I knew and never heard it before, which is good! Very informative. They also sell drinks and gebak. They have separate toilets for woman and man...and its a clean one 👍 a lot of nice pictures with cool backgroud that we took yesterday.”
Spend a full day at Efteling near Kaatsheuvel, with fairy tales, coasters, live shows, family rides, restaurants, and a mobile ticket.
“The park is much bigger than what we anticipated. Great theme park experience for a very good price.”

“this is a very nice experience. you can sit down comfortably at the table, both inside the boat and outside, and watch the passing-by landscape while enjoying refreshing drinks. the tour guide offers interesting pieces of information all throughout the trip. the boat isn’t going too fast, so you have a lot of time to appreciate the view and take pictures.”
Ride Rotterdam’s Waterbus to Kinderdijk or Dordrecht for a flexible day on the water, with free bike transport and scenic South Holland views.
“The Waterbus to Kinderdijk Windmills was extremely good value for money and easy to locate. I would highly recommend this to anyone with some free time in Rotterdam. The only down side is the return waterbus ran every hour, so a more frequent schedule would have been useful.”
