Explore Rotterdam’s bold architecture, historic buildings, Cube Houses, Markthal, and Erasmus Bridge with a private local guide.

“The cubic houses but they were not really part of the tour... though it was in the paragraph announcing the tour. In the details of the tour they were not there anymore and this created misunderstanding between the guide and us. The guide had to cut the Eramus Brige to be able to do the tour in 2 hours. Please make some corrections to your announce. Louise”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $402

Explore Gouda’s Gothic city hall, Saint-John Church, cheese museum, and market square on a private two-hour walking tour.

“I struggle with this review as it had nothing to do with tasting cheese and everything to do with the history of the town of Gouda. First, I signed up for tour to sample and taste the magnificent Gouda cheese… only to discover that the description of the tour had changed since my purchase and the sampling was no longer included, but a separate cost! The two guides that gave us the tour were extremely knowledgeable of the history of Gouda and did an amazing job of relating the information to us! Definitely well worth the tour for the knowledge. I really enjoyed the tour but it wasn’t the tour…”
