Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour with Anastasia. She is very knowledgable about the art and architecture of Rotterdam, and she tailored the tour perfectly for us. She is a very open and engaging person, and we enjoyed her company very much. "
"Anastasia's knowledge and personality made this the best tour in Rotterdam. She was fantastic. We learned so much as first time visitors to Rotterdam and we got to see and taste things around our tour. As a Travel Agency owner I would recommend her to all my clients, she is that good."
"Anastasia hat uns als 2 Familien superfreundlich empfangen - ist auch auf die Kids superlieb eingegangen. Die Führung startete an der Markthal und hatte vor allem viele interessante Informationen zur Architektur und Geschichte der Stadt. Der Guide ging auf unsere Interessen ein und versuchte die Führung entsprechend zu gestalten - alle Teilnehmer wurde von ihr angesprochen und sie versuchte immer wieder eine Konversation auf den Laufeegen zu starten um auch mehr von uns zu erfahren. Es gab einige kulinarische Stopps auf dem Weg und wir haben uns spontan ein Kubushaus von innen ansehen dürfen. Wir können diese Führung empfehlen!"
"Anastasia as a tour guide was really good. She knows a lot about the city and is very passionate about sharing her knowledge. As a food tour though I was slightly disappointed as it was advertised as a ten tastings of Rotterdam and we didn’t quite receive that. We may not have booked it as a food tour had we known. But as I said, the rest of the tour was very enjoyable and Anastasia was lovely to spend a couple of hours wandering the city with. "

"We did the food tour in Rotterdam a week ago and were all very enthusiastic! We are a family of 5 and we all had a lot of fun and a great day. Anastasia put a lot of effort into putting together a great tour for us! She showed us many great food spots and also many sights of the city while sharing a lot of information about them. We had a sightseeing tour and a food tour in one, so to speak, which we really enjoyed. Many thanks again to Anastasia, it was really great!"
"Anastasia is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She provided a tour well tailored to our wishes. Anastasia knows the architecture and art scene of Rotterdam very well. And although as Belgians we already know quite a bit about Dutch food culture, we have still learned a lot."
"Daniil was een hele vriendelijke jonge man. Die ons buiten de gekende toeristische trekpleisters ook mee nam naar een andere hoek van Rotterdamse ons kennis liet maken met de lokale street art. Duidelijke uitleg en relaxte tour"
"What a delightful way to spend a few hours in a new city. Anastasia has a wealth of knowledge about Rotterdam to share which she imparts in an entertaining fashion. Would highly recommend her."
"We had a very interesting guided tour with Anastasia. She adjusted the three hours city tour to our wishes and fulfilled our expectations. She is very kind, knowledgeable, answered all our questions with a smile and showed us real hidden gems. I can really recommend her. Thanks Anastasia for the great time!"
"Anastasia sammelte uns zielsicher an der Stelle ein, an der wir fälschlicherweise auf sie gewartet hatten. Mit einem Lachen erzählte sie uns, dass wir nicht die ersten Gäste seinen, die sie hier angetroffen hat. Schon tauchte Anastasia mit uns in die Geschichte und Architektur von Rotterdam ein. Sie zeigte uns die Bibliothek, in welcher sie auch gern selbst während Ihres Studiums zum Lesen geht und erzählte uns von den vielen Möglichkeiten für Künstler die Rotterdam bietet. Wir besuchten mit ihr einige weitere interessante Plätze, wie die berühmten Cube-Häuser, den alten Hafen und die große bunt gestalte Markthalle. Zu den verschiedenen Plätzen hatte Anastasia viele kleine interessante Geschichten zu erzählen und half uns beim Auffinden eines speziellen Gewürzes in einem Asia-Laden , der sich innerhalb der Markthalle befindet. Wir hatten mit Anastasia eine wundervolle Zeit, die am Ende viel zu schnell verging. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Tour! "
