Hop aboard an amphibious splash bus for a 1-hour Rotterdam tour, with guided sights on land and a Maas River cruise by water.
“Fun activity for the whole family. We joined a Dutch/German/English speaking tour as participants from those countries were on the bus. Great flexibility of driver/guide. Guide was also very good with our teenagers approaching them with jokes on their (challenging) level. 6 on 5 star rating!”
Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp with skip-the-line entry for a full day of animals, butterflies, and Oceanium thrills, plus a handy fast start.
“The zoo has enormous area to walk through and various amount of animals! Totally worth it!”

A 75-minute Rotterdam Maas cruise with all-you-can-eat Dutch pancakes and skyline views from Parkhaven near Euromast.
“LOADS to eat, you will not be disappointed! The boat was charming, if you want to sit upstairs then book party sizes 4 or smaller together (even if you are more than that), parties over 4 people sit downstairs. The ball pit for the kids to play in was small, and if there are a lot of kids on the cruise it would be chaos! Adults would be hard-pressed to climb into the pit for rescue purposes.”
75-minute Rotterdam harbor cruise from Parkhaven with live guide, Maas River views, Erasmus Bridge, and optional coffee and cake.
“We had an amazing time during this Cruise. We learned a lot about the history of Rotterdam. We passed by lots of interesting sites and visited a part of the Harbour which had at the time, numerous large ships docked there. What a sight to behold up close. Definitely recommend taking this cruise!”
Take the WaterShuttle from Rotterdam to UNESCO Kinderdijk, ride indoors or on deck, and add bike time on the water.

Explore the SS Rotterdam, a former Holland-America flagship moored in Rotterdam. Audio tours cover decks, bow views, and captain areas.
“An absolutely fantastic experience that gained the full attention of my grandsons, especially the tour of the engine room. Having recently taken a cruise it was so interesting to see what it would have been like during the late 50's and 60's. The renovation was encapsulating and the memory will stay with all of us. The tour guides were very informative and friendly and we will certainly repeat our visit next time we are in Rotterdam. I would also say that the coffee and cake on board is well worth having as well. Thank you for making a rainy day so enjoyable”

“the speed boat ride was amazing. Our guide was super friendly and amazing, was really passionate about his job and very friendly. His name was Jab something. I had a ball and would recommend everyone to do this in Rotterdam. Thanks to our guide for being so open minded and this speed boat ride so memorable.”
See Rotterdam and Great Britain in miniature at Miniworld, where a 24-minute day turns into night with 27,000 tiny residents.
“Heel leuk, kleinzoon vond het prachtig. Voor manlief ook geweldig als (oud)Rotterdammer. Leuk dat het af en toe "nacht" werd, sfeervol met al die lichtjes. Speurtocht (Pokemon) niet voor herhaling vatbaar, ten eerste was de plattegrond om aan te kruisen te onduidelijk en de Pokemon figuren moeilijk te zien in tegenstelling tot Paw Patrol, die figuren zijn veel groter dus duidelijker. Fijn ook dat er een bewaakte garderobe is.”
Architect-led 2-hour walk through Rotterdam’s rebuild and future plans, from Central Station and Markthal to Cube Houses and Erasmus Bridge.
“The tour was very nice! It walks through the town with all the stories about the buildings. I enjoyed it super much and definitely recommend to people, especially those who are interested in stories and architecture. It is a very worthwhile tour to join!”
Rotterdam architecture and history walk with a Dutch guide. Cube houses, Markthal, harbor and WWII stories. Small group, 2 to 3 hours.
“I loved this tour of Rotterdam. It was the perfect combination between history, architecture and tips on what to do when in Rotterdam. This tour is a must do, especially on your first days there because after it, you'll have an entire list of things to do and places to visit. I highly recommend it! ❤️”
Every kind of Dutch day out, and the best of each.
