In Rotterdam, you explore a city bombed flat in 1940 and rebuilt as a showcase of bold architecture. See the iconic skyline, visit the Old Harbor, and step inside one of the famous Cube Houses. Entry is included. You can do the tour in either direction. Pickup and drop-off from other locations, including Amsterdam, can also be arranged. This is a private tour.
