Taste Dutch classics and global bites while walking Rotterdam’s architecture, markets, bridges, and neighborhoods with a small English-speaking group.
“The tour guide was fantastic and we learned a lot about the city. But, most of the bites were small (not worth $95+ for sure) and the food was shared so better to go in a group. Less of a food tour, more of a walking tour. There was no watertaxi ride, maybe because it was chilly out. Also, we only got one drink not 2 like it said in the description. Tour guide rating: 5/5 Actual tour: 3/5”
