Rotterdam is certainly an object of pride for all the Dutch. It’s a great example of a city that is like a phoenix rising dust to shine even brighter than it was in the past. Being almost entirely destroyed by the Nazi forces during the World War II, the place was rebuilt and its remarkable central part was restored just as it was historically, and Rotterdam turned into one of the most active international ports in the world and a major tourist destination in Holland.

The city has a very long history that starts back in the 13th century with a construction of a dam on a river called Rotte. Throughout the centuries the city served as an important trade hub and port. And for the last forty years of the last century it was the busiest port city on the planet according to official statistics.

As your private guide in Amsterdam, I will gladly show you the main sites of this city and tell you its fascinating history. We’ll stop by the maritime museum to see various vessels and techniques that were used in Rotterdam throughout the long history of this city being an important port.

We’ll enjoy a boat ride along certain areas of the harbor, so that you could assess the scale and intensity of the naval activity in this city. And we’ll also enjoy a walk through the city center to admire the most remarkable buildings, some of which have withstand the WWII bombings while others have been rebuilt from scratch using historical references.
