It was perfect. Sylvia was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the urbanization and architecture of Rotterdam for 2 hours. I definitely recommend it.

Sylvie was an exceptional guide. As a working architect here in Rotterdam, she gave a very thorough overview of the architectural history of the city, complete with a historical photo book. She seemed to hit all the highlights and answered all of our questions. I only wish the tour had been 4 hours instead of 2! The quality of this tour for the price was truly a bargain. Sylvie is the type of guide you hope you will get when you sign up for a guided tour!
