About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Escape7803160 contributionsGreat tour with AstridI took a bike&bite tour with Astrid who was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. She shared her passion to the city's culture, history, art, food and architecture. It seemed that she really likes what she's doing. We had a great group, a lot of laughs and the bikes were really easy to handle. I recommend this tour very much!Written 18 October 2024
- Z8769HZstephenf0 contributionsRolling around RotterdamGreat tour! The meet location is hard to find; leave yourself lots of extra time. If you're not a good bicyclist - do something elsewhere. Learn what the paint on the road means and obey it. Our Guide was great! The food was great! Enjoy the beer but not too much, you're driving home!Written 12 September 2024
- philippah9620 contributionsPerfect way to experience the cityThis was such a fun way to see the city and to experience some delicious food. We went as one adult and teen children. They really enjoyed it, it was a perfect mix of interesting stories and yummy food.Written 21 July 2024
- vanessabU9338HO0 contributionsHighly recommend this tour of Rotterdam for adventurous foodiesMy husband and I had a wonderful time on our Rotterdam bike and food tour. Astrid was our guide, and I thought she did an awesome job! She clearly had a very in-depth knowledge of the city's art, architecture, and history and was fun to talk to. The biking was super fun, and all the food was delicious. I thought the amount of food (as well as three beverages!) was also very generous for a food tour. I thought Astrid also did a good job pivoting when my husband's bike malfunctioned and he had to exchange for another. It was just my husband and I and one other person on our tour, so I felt like I was definitely able to have any question I had answered, which was kinda nice. The only thing I would recommend is maybe marking the outside of the building a little more clearly. The directions said to look for a Bike and Bite banner on an easily missed side street, but there wasn't one, and there's no storefront exactly, so it was a little difficult to figure out if we were meeting at the correct place. Despite that, it was a delightful tour, and I feel like I got to see a lot of the city in a very enjoyable way.Written 17 July 2024
- Ozgirl20 contributionsRecommend bike & bites tour of RotterdamAstrid was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable but also a fun person to spend time with.

- johnpC6683SK0 contributionsJe moederHonestly if you want to go on a bike ride round Rotterdam, book this. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about his home town. I went to places, ate food and drunk beer that I would not have done without local knowledge. Brilliant. Oh and if you get the option, have a little drink of "je moeder" it's awesome.Written 14 March 2024
- Sightseer2952840 contributionsGood foodWhen you do this tour as a tourist is will be sometimes difficult to find your way. The stops are not named with the address so every now and then you have to use google to find the way. But the food at every stay is very good and so typical for Rotterdam.Written 15 September 2023
- JulieVacances0 contributionsPerfect Intro to Rotterdam!We did this bike tour on the first of our 8-day trip to Rotterdam and it was 100% worth it. It was the perfect way to get an overview of the city, along with tips from our excellent guide Wilhelm. Our family of 5 (parents with young adults) was alone on the tour so we could ask all the silly questions we wanted about Rotterdam and the Netherlands. Our food choices were interesting, with our favorites being the patat, the poffertjes and the beer near the Markthal. highly recommend!Written 19 August 2023
- Paul S0 contributionsExcellent way to see Rotterdam, with delicious food to boot!Can really recommend this tour, the app is excellent and easy to use. The food was delicious,hard to pick a favourite but the Super Crepe stop is a narrow winner. Certainly was not hungry afterwards we didn’t even go to dinner back on the Cruise ship. With all the food stops, bit of history and a drink included at the last venue this is great value for money, highly recommend.Written 10 August 2023
- B8441QEjenniferh0 contributionsAmazing Bike TourThis bike and bite tour was so worth it! We learned so much about Rotterdam, and ate and some very yummy places. Our guide Rob was awesome and delightful! Would highly recommend this tour!Written 30 June 2023
- Jonathon_vk0 contributionsAn awesome afternoon - thanks Tim!Had originally planned to do a bike and bite tour but our guide fell ill a couple of days before so Paul kindly rebooked us with the hike and bite group. Paul was lovely and kindly offered us a partial refund for the inconvenience. In hindsight, we were actually really glad to switch tours because a) the weather ended up being horrible and no good for cycling, and b) we got Tim as our tour guide. Tim was a really nice guy - knowledgeable and clearly went the extra mile to find interesting information and stories about Rotterdam, things even locals might not know. The food was great - had fries with mayo, dumplings, poffertjes, herring, beer and cheese. We also went on a nice water taxi ride through the Harbour. All in all, a great way to see and taste the best parts of Rotterdam in half a day!Written 2 May 2023
- LJSRQ0 contributionsgreat experience to explore Rotterdam and its diverse food cultureMy boyfriend and I booked the bicycling tour and it was not available due to a lack of bookings, so the host switched us to the walking tour (with advance notice and our permission of course). This was a wonderful experience combining insight into Rotterdam at various points and delicious bites along the way. We experienced a few areas that we might not have without the tour. The hosts at each restaurant we visited were accommodating. We lucked out on the weather and got to spend time dining outside observing the vitality of city at each stop. The app works perfectly, and we actually preferred the self-guided approach as we had time to stop into different shops along the way. The snacks added up to a filling and diverse meal.Written 29 April 2023

A lovely afternoon wandering the streets of Rotterdam under Rob's knowledgeable guidance. Tried some lovely food and learned much more than we would have had we been alone. Highly recommend this trip, both the quantity of the food and the quality of the guide makes it great value for money

This was a relaxed walking tour, we joined 4 others for a 4hr trek around some hidden gems in the city. We had 4 or 5 stops for nibbles which didn’t seem much at the time but add up to a full tummy at the end of the tour. Water taxi is fun and the tour ends just south of the Maas with a beer and cheese. Paul was very knowledgeable and the pace was just right with no rushing. All in all a great way to see some of the hidden history of the city along with some modern trends.

This was similar to the Amsterdam food tour in terms of the food but there was a bit more food. The tour guide Tim did a great job telling us about the city and pointing out the interesting sculptures and architecture. It was a great into to the city.

Rotterdam food and city tour - multiple stops for beverage and local food of the Netherlands.
Impressive city. Enjoyed the guide, information, and treats along the way.
Great for cruise passengers. A 20 minute walk from the port to the start at Centraal Station ending back at the cruise pier.a good amount of walking with many city highlights including buildings, art, and statues.

We love to book food tours in new cities and we'd never been to Rotterdam. It was a fantastic tour with just 6 people led by our great guide Rob. The pace was perfect and the food (bites) were just right. We learnt so much about Rotterdam and the 4 hour tour was never rushed and we got a much better idea of the city than wandering ourselves. It also included a water taxi over to the Southside, something we wouldn't have done. Rob also showed us The Depot which we visited the next day. What a fantastic bit of advice that was. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rotterdam.

We joined Umesh and a small group for today's tour. What a delightful guide to spend a few hours with.
He gave an insight to the history and architecture of several buildings and demonstrated the diverse food culture of the city.

I went with my father today and we had a great time. At first the tour was supposed to be due to the stormy weather, but since it was a birthday surprise and we had already bought train tickets, Paul adapted the tour a little bit for us so we could still go. Astrid our guide was also very skilled and friendly. Thanks guys for the fantastic day! Malou & Jan

I can't decide between the walking or cycling tour... Has anyone done both and can recommend.
Written 21 December 2023
We loved the walking tour, and it was easy getting around. We do also LOVE biking tours (did one in Amsterdam two days later). The people who recommended this food tour to us had originally signed up for the cycling, but when it didn't have the minimum number of people to do the cycling tour, they had to switch to walking. I think you'd be happy and fine either way. (Bear in mind that the operator of this tour does require a minimum number of people in order for it to 'make' - we had to switch ours to another day when our original scheduled tour didn't make - it worked out, but it was a last minute scramble for us to move around our schedule - just a heads up for you.)
What I really enjoyed about the walking tour (and I don't know if you'd do all of this on the cycling tour or not - the operator would have to tell you): going into a large food hall for one of our food stops - it was a longer 'rest', we bought our own drinks to go with it, etc....we also went into the local visitor center for a short film, and we took a water taxi from one point to another. I assume some of these stops might not be part of the cycling - so it really just depends on what you want.
We love (love love love) to see a city for the first time through a cycling tour and then go back to places we saw later on our own - but for this being a food tour, I'm glad we did the walking.
Also: keep in mind that doing a cycling tour anywhere in the Netherlands is different than some other cities - there are so many cyclists, and you (in my opinion) need to be a pretty confident cyclist to do a biking tour in Rotterdam or Amsterdam. Again. - just my opinion - but there is a lot of cycling traffic and you need to be prepared for that (the one in Amsterdam was slightly harrowing at a few points - all fine, but not the leisurely peddling you might do in other places). Hope this helps! The operator of this tour was great to work with - very accommodating and responsive - and the tour guide was fabulous.
