Join us on a captivating Rotterdam street art tour. Here's what awaits you:
- We'll start our journey at the train station, immediately witnessing how the city communicates with its residents through art.
- We'll head into a pretty historical hip-hop neighborhood filled with relevant stories, energy, and, of course, an abundance of street art. We'll encounter works by local artists: the genre classics, Brazilian street art luminaries, and outsider artists.
- We'll wander through an outdoor art museum stretching across the city center and encounter many beautiful, witty, funny, or even provocative sculptures created by recognized masters of the last century and contemporary artists worldwide.
- We'll definitely visit Chinatown. We'll assemble an entire "zoo," and drop by a real Rotterdam Giant to compare heights. Perhaps, we'll find a 3D mural or become part of one of the installations.
- We'll stroll down the city's oldest shopping street, adorned with Art Nouveau facades.
- We'll visit the concrete island of skaters and meet its stone guardian.
- Finally, we'll explore the city's oldest bar street, which is literally sprinkled with street art and art galleries and brimming with wonderful stories that reveal more about the city than any history book could.

It's advisable to decide on tours you would like to take as early as possible, ideally to book them right after buying your airplane tickets. That way we will make sure we have a guide for you and our meeting will definitely take place :) If you make a last-minute decision to take a tour, do not hesitate to contact us either. We will do our best to arrange a guide for you to show you the country.
We will definitely agree on it well in advance! Then, two days before the tour date, a reminding email with the name and the phone number of your guide, the exact location of the meeting point and its photo will be sent to you. Please do not miss this letter. Thanks! :)
Sure. We love to plan individual programs more than anything else. In addition to our existing tours, a boat or a yacht trip could be included; a hot air balloon flight, designer shops and art gallery tours, various workshops, tastings, university tours, castle visiting and much, much more. In addition, we adore arranging multi-day bicycle trip programs around the country. Arranging an individual program is a paid service. Let us know your personal wishes and we will do our best to make it happen!
Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
