Great way to see the city from a different perspective. Only the time specification of 1.5 hours is not realistic from my point of view! We 2 adults and 3 kids (all 12) had to stop after 2.5 hours of 8 challenges! It was a real shame. Some directions are unclear, for example, go down the street - which direction???

A great way to explore the city. The facts about the sights are also interesting. It's a shame that the story is about World War II - a story about Erasmus would also be interesting.

it was very fun and a cheap way to visit the places of interest in Rotterdam. Definitely recommend! You learnt a lot too on how Rotterdam was affected in WWII

It was a fun tour. Saw a lot of places and will book another tour.

Nice puzzle tour, directions could be a bit clearer here and there
