is still in active service for the protestant population of the city
Being such a water rich city, and having the river Maas flowing right through the city
a bridge is a real necessity. The most spectacular bridge is the Erasmus bridge, named

Remy was a wonderful guide. He is so full of information and you could tell he was very proud of his city. We loved this tour and highly recommend it. We saw some very interesting sights in Rotterdam including the marketplace and cube houses. But we loved that Dordrecht. What a charming city with a very interesting story. Thanks Remy for sharing it with us!!
A tour that deserves 6 stars!

Liz is the reason why you have a guide during your vacations. She was absolutely amazing! She was very precise in her directions to our meeting place. She walked at our pace all while telling us about the history of Rotterdam. She shared many fun stories. Later in the day we took the water taxi down to her hometown of Dordrecht. Such a cute town. It was a delightful day! This tour was one of our favorites during our 12 day European trip.
