Private Rotterdam and Delft Exploration with Canal Cruise

Set off on an unforgettable journey through the dynamic city of Rotterdam, where tradition meets innovation in a captivating blend of architecture, culture, and history. Experience the vibrant pulse of the Netherlands as you explore iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and picturesque canals that define this enchanting destination.

Stroll through a mesmerizing mix of avant-garde architecture and traditional Dutch buildings, including Rotterdam's Cube Houses, a testimony to the city's architectural innovation. Explore the greenest city in the Netherlands, appreciating its invigorating freshness and coffee culture at the lowest Dutch point below sea level, a cool -7,67m.

Enjoy a picturesque canal cruise through Little Amsterdam, offering captivating views of the city's waterfront charm. Engage with the tales of two notable 17th-century personalities, a groundbreaking artist and scientist, whose works indelibly marked humanity.

Witness the majolica, a distinct Dutch tin-glazed artifact with a historical relevance that echoes through time, at the Royal Delft Pottery Museum and Factory. Understand the rich background of the Dutch national and the first global bourgeois revolution while discovering its influential pioneers.

Marvel at the Rotterdam Central Station, a modern architectural gem serving an impressive 170,000 passengers daily, and Schieland House, a 17th-century build, historically a part of Napoleon Bonaparte's journey. Stand in awe of the Late Gothic style St. Lawrence Church, a resilient structure that survived Nazi bombing in 1940, and a monument honoring Desiderius Erasmus Roterdamus, a renowned 16th-century philosopher, theologian, and scholar.

Experience local life at The Old Harbor, a vibrant gathering place brimming with coffee bars, restaurants, and clubs. Pay tribute at De Boeg, a WWII memorial commemorating lost lives, and be intrigued by the expansive collection at Leuwhaven Maritime Museum.

Absorb the charm of Delft, marked by Oostpoort, the city's medieval gate, and admire the antique Girls Orphanage. Visit Anton van Leevenhoek's monument, honoring the founder of the microscope, and stroll through Bagijnhof, a memorial area dedicated to the Beguines, a semi-closed order of sisters.
