    Outstanding private guided city bike tour
    Our tour with guide Edwin was outstanding. It was exactly what we were hoping for in a private tour and worth every penny. Not only did we see some of the must see spots but we also saw beautiful neighborhoods and other sites tourists would not normally visit. Edwin was engaging and informative. We had such a wonderful time and highly recommend this private guided tour.

    Raving about Rotterdam!
    My tour guide Edwin Muller was absolutely fantastic! So knowledgeable about the city and gave me a ton of both historical and fun/very funny facts. Even convinced me to try a fresh stroopwafel which was out of this world. Also showed me the in's and out's of biking in the city. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rotterdam!

    A pleasant tour
    I loved my bike travel in Rotterdam since is a very green place and a quietly city full of enormous parks. Our guide was pleased to explain us many particulars of monuments, places and of the central station. I think that seeing a city completely modern with a private guide is funnier that seeing it alone. You have to pay attention to other bikes because they are very fast.

    Highly recommend this tour
    The private bike tour experience by IDtours was exceptional and highly recommended. We received a confirmation text by Hans after booking and again a day before which was greatly appreciated. Our tour guide Edwin was a knowledgeable and great host. He gave us a lot of good information in an interesting way and took really good care to ensure our safety. Would definitely recommend this as one of the first things to do when arriving in Rotterdam.

    Small bites on Bikes
    Edwin was an excellent guide and we had a nice bike around Rotterdam learning the history. The small bites of food made this an interesting tour for our travel group.

    Great tour - learned a lot
    With some 15 neighbors, all living in the center of Rotterdam, we took a 2.5 hour walking tour in “the kop van Zuid” and Katendrecht. We got to see a lot and learned about the history. Hans is an extremely knowledgeable guide and tells his story really well. I can totally recommend this tour.

    Private walking tour of Rotterdam
    This was a personalised tour for a client and their guests attending a conference in Rotterdam. Hans organised a fabulous tour for them and adapted it at the last minute due to weather changes. My client was very impressed by Hans and the guests loved the tour. Thoroughly recommend doing this if you have a group visiting Rotterdam.

    Awesome bicycle tour!
    I can’t say enough good things about Hans and the Hidden Gems bike tour. Not only is he the nicest person, he is a very knowledgeable historian of Dutch history. Highly recommended! Extra bonus was having a delicious apple cake and coffee break at a historic windmill in the city at Virginia’s cafe and meeting some very nice people. Thank you Hans!

I joined a free walking tour with Hans and it was a brilliant experience! Humorous, informative and very exciting introduction to the history and modern life of the city. The tour was about 2 hours long and we saw the main highlights of the city, streer art and some hidden gems. Highly recommended for travellers and also locals in Rotterdam, you'll have a great time and learn a lot for sure.
Looking forward for joining the walking tour to the South Rotterdam in April :)

We had Edwin as our guide - he was on time and proved to be enthusiastic and have a lot of local knowledge. We spent just over two hours walking from the spectacular Centraal Station through the city down to the waterfront checking out the main sites along the way and ending up at the Markthal. It was very interesting to hear the history of the city and to understand the city;s motto of "Strength through Adversity".

We visited Rotterdam yesterday with a group of 75 student. Our three tour guides were Richard, Isabelle, and Stephan. All three did an excellent job. We will surely book the tour again with ID tours when we are visiting Rotterdam again next year. 10/10 would recommend.
