Elmer was an excellent bicycle tour guide! He shared interesting facts about his beautiful hometown. The distances were not too long between stops. His reports about the city’s history we’re interesting and informative. Elmer’s enthusiastic and helpful nature made this a wonderful tour. 10✨

What an amazing experience! Our tourguide Elmer was funny, knowledgeable, and kept the energy high throughout. The stops were great too, I especially liked the yellow cube houses, and the break at the Fenix Food Factorty was a great opportunity to grab a coffee and chat with the other participants. There is nothing I did not like, so if you're ever in Rotterdam, do this tour!

Ideal meeting point for us, as parking was easy nearby and we were able to use our own bikes. Very friendly, competent guide who gave us a lively introduction to the history of Rotterdam. The route was perfectly planned for 3 hours. Cycling was relaxed and safe. It was fun and made us want to visit the city again. THANK YOU
