A very enjoyable and entertaining bus/boat tour. The best outing I've had in years. If you're going to Rotterdam or the surrounding area, this is a must-do.

It was a wonderful trip, with a wonderful guide who had a great sense of humor; we heard lots of interesting facts about the city’s history from him. The captain did a fantastic job driving the bus—both on land and on water.

An absolutely unforgettable experience! This is not just a tour – it’s something you should definitely add to your “must-do in life” list. The guide was amazing – incredibly friendly, attentive, full of interesting information, and with a great sense of humor that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging from start to finish. But the real highlight? Realizing you’re sitting in a… bus that drives straight into the water! Crossing the river in an amphibious vehicle, moving diagonally and then alongside ships, is simply extraordinary. Most people have been on a boat before – but this is something completely different. And of course, hats off to the driver – the control and confidence with which he handles this vehicle are truly impressive. In short: unique, fun, and absolutely not to be missed if you’re in Rotterdam! ✨👌🏼👏🏼

Ride an amphibious vehicle that shifts from city streets into the water, combining a one-hour route with live narration for a view of the city.

Hear the story of the city from a guide who speaks English and Dutch, with an audio system on board that offers commentary in several other languages.

Glide past quays, bridges, and waterfront districts, so you can watch docks, tall buildings, and city life unfold on the water around you.

Really fun and enjoyable. Well organized. Most of the tour takes place on the water, and the guide tells all sorts of stories about Rotterdam with a sense of humor.
