- Veerhaven - The Scheepvaartkwartier is a hidden gem of the outer city center; a place many Rotterdammers don’t even know about. Here you will experience the open and wide feeling of this beautiful harbor city! From the side of the river Maas, you will be able to see Hotel New York, Steam Ship Rotterdam and Erasmusbrug.
- Erasmusbrug - The Erasmusbridge is the big white bridge, crossing the river Meuse (Maas). Here I will explain you all about the Second World War and the invasion of Rotterdam.
- The Destroyed City - One of the most important statues in the city of Rotterdam, with lots of meaning and history.
- Witte Huis - The White House is a historical icon and used to be the tallest tower in Europe!
- Old Harbour - The old habor is one of the oldest harbors of The Netherlands and also very cozy! Photo time!
- Overblaak - The cube houses might be one of the most famous sightseeing locations in the city. We will pass through, take photos, but don’t enter the demo cube house. This is possible after the tour (€3).
- Markthal - We will end the tour inside The Markthal. This made Rotterdam extra famous and is a modern indoor market with lots of food and colors! We also call it our modern Sistine Chapel and you will find out why!

Don’t skip this one - Yoreh is a wealth of knowledge! This tour was a wonderful way to see and explore the history of Rotterdam. Yoreh took us walking around some of the most important historical parts, of the city, showed us now the new and old architecture seems to dance in sync in the city of Rotterdam.
We enjoyed his company and all the local knowledge he shared with us.

Great tour with Yoreh. If you only have an afternoon/interested in Rotterdam's history, highly recommend! - Fantastic Tour!
Yoreh was great. It was a miserable, grey, day and he had a spare umbrella (which one of the tourists needed) and when someone who hadn't dressed for the cold started to complain, he brought out a thermos of tea (complete with sugar and milk) and waffles for us all!
Yoreh made the 3 hours fly by with information, humour, a quick break for anyone who needed it and happy to answer all our questions and point out very interesting details we would otherwise miss.
Definitely recommend.

Excellent walking tour - Yoreh was an excellent guide. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable of the area. He is a native of Rotterdam and is very passionate about his city, which was great. He showed us so many interesting and inspiring buildings and shared many stories from WWII to the present. My wife and I really didn’t know much about Rotterdam prior to our walking tour but by the time it concluded we had a greater understanding and appreciation of Rotterdam. I highly recommend this tour by Yoreh.

The best guide in town - The tour is amazing, Yoreh is passionate and will tell many stories and facts about the city and the places you visit. The nice thing of the tour are the hidden spots the common Tours will not show you. 3 amazing hours with a special guide original from Rotterdam.

Rotterdam is a delightful place to visit. - What a surprise to find Rotterdam to be such an attractive, clean and interesting place. The riverside walk and architecture, the food market, the old boat harbour, the shops were all delightful. I always had a mental picture of industrial, dirty, and threatening. Not at all.

One day in Rotterdam - If you have very limited time in the city I really recommend this tour. Very comprehensive and the guide person provided all the information about Rotterdam that you need. The interactive guide that was provided after the tour was very useful.
