Best City Tour we had so far!
The guide was really very friendly and passionate about the topic. She was able to convey it very well to me, as a non-architect, as well as to my architecture-loving boyfriend.
Every trip in Rotterdam should start with a tour with Walk Rotterdam.
100% recommendation!

Great informative tour
Solo
Communication before the tour was great, I received a reminder email. The tour was very informative, giving context and background to the buildings. Some plans and drawings of the inside parts of buildings were shown where it's not possible to go into the building. Tania was very friendly. She answered all our questions (we asked lots about planning and public realm design well as the architecture) The price was very reasonable. I definitley recommend this tour!

Terrific couple of hours
Couples
We took the modern architecture walking tour with Sylvia. We were staying in Amsterdam and took the train down for the day and were very glad we did. The tour was a fascinating introduction to a city you might not think of visiting. Sylvia gave us the historical context for all the new architecture and talked about the city's rich history and its future. She was both a terrific guide and great company and it was wonderful to spend a few hours walking around the city with her.

Fascinating walk with a very knowledgeable guide
Couples
We were lucky enough to have Tania as a guide for just the two of us. She is extremely well-informed about the development of Rotterdam in the post -war era, both at the level of urban planning and of the detail of individual buildings. A knowledgeable enthusuast for modern architecture, she has a very sharp eye for the ways that different buildings work or don't work, the materials used in their construction, the way they occupy particular spaces, and how they invite people in or exclude them. We could happily have spent the whole day exploring more of the city with her.

Nice private 2,5h walk through Rotterdam with guide
Friends
We met our guide (Tania) in time at the central station and we've had a pleasant walk through the city. She took her time and was always available for questions.
I recommend this tour.

She knows her stuff
Friends
We had a great time walking around Rotterdam with Silvia. She not only gave us lots of fascinating information about the specific buildings and Dutch design sensibility in general, but she oriented us towards the city and gave us a better sense of how people in Rotterdam live--from their commutes to their real estate prices. She's quite knowledgeable and adjusted her info to our interests and questions. Great for architects, of course, but also just for getting to know the city. Highly rcommended.

Fun walk and interesting architecture tour
Solo
Walk Rotterdam was very interesting and fun! I learned a lot about the architecture and the history of the city I live in a fun way. The tour route highlighted the most important buildings and areas of the city, as well as a description of the details about them, including past and future plans. It is great to see Rotterdam through the perspective of Tania, an artist and landscape designer! The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended if you want to understand Rotterdam’s character and nature, and want to enjoy the city!

It is really worth this tour
Friends
It is really worth this tour, as you will learn things about the city that you would not find out easily. i mean, the sort of stuff that you Will not read in a guide or in Internet.
Why? Because Tania has been living un Rotterdam for more than eight years and apart from loving the city, she will tell you its past, present and the near future of this interesting place. Also, its architecture, culture and the way of living.
