EXPLORATION TOURS

Experience Rotterdam from many different vantage points on the curated tours taking place on 14th October.

Rotterdam is a highly diverse city embracing over 170 nationalities so find out how the city has ensured that the next generation is integrated and yet culturally individual.   

Cycling empowers and changes lives so experience how Rotterdam is a city made for cyclists and enjoy some healthy treats en route! Visit the ‘Cape’ and see smart urban planning which has completely transformed this once undesirable peninsula in Rotterdam.

The city is in its essence bold, forward thinking and a living culture with room for everyone.
