Anastasia as a tour guide was really good. She knows a lot about the city and is very passionate about sharing her knowledge. As a food tour though I was slightly disappointed as it was advertised as a ten tastings of Rotterdam and we didn’t quite receive that. We may not have booked it as a food tour had we known. But as I said, the rest of the tour was very enjoyable and Anastasia was lovely to spend a couple of hours wandering the city with. Great tour

We did the food tour in Rotterdam a week ago and were all very enthusiastic! We are a family of 5 and we all had a lot of fun and a great day. Anastasia put a lot of effort into putting together a great tour for us! She showed us many great food spots and also many sights of the city while sharing a lot of information about them. We had a sightseeing tour and a food tour in one, so to speak, which we really enjoyed. Many thanks again to Anastasia, it was really great!Very nice tour with a great guide!!

Anastasia is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She provided a tour well tailored to our wishes. Anastasia knows the architecture and art scene of Rotterdam very well. And although as Belgians we already know quite a bit about Dutch food culture, we have still learned a lot.Learning while having a good time!

Anastasia hat uns als 2 Familien superfreundlich empfangen - ist auch auf die Kids superlieb eingegangen. Die Führung startete an der Markthal und hatte vor allem viele interessante Informationen zur Architektur und Geschichte der Stadt. Der Guide ging auf unsere Interessen ein und versuchte die Führung entsprechend zu gestalten - alle Teilnehmer wurde von ihr angesprochen und sie versuchte immer wieder eine Konversation auf den Laufeegen zu starten um auch mehr von uns zu erfahren. Es gab einige kulinarische Stopps auf dem Weg und wir haben uns spontan ein Kubushaus von innen ansehen dürfen. Wir können diese Führung empfehlen!Sehr freundlich und informativ!

Wir haden uns wunderbar verstanden und hatten über 3 Stunden viel Spaß. Yulia weiß eine Menge über Rotterdam und konnte uns viel zeigen und erklären. Dass sie Gefallen daran hat, ihre Stadt zu präsentieren, haben wir deutlich gemerkt. Auch im Vorfeld hatten wir schon. einen sehr netten Austausch. – Eine solche Tour ist absolut zu empfehlen. Es hat sich wirklich gelohnt

Anastasia sammelte uns zielsicher an der Stelle ein, an der wir fälschlicherweise auf sie gewartet hatten. Mit einem Lachen erzählte sie uns, dass wir nicht die ersten Gäste seinen, die sie hier angetroffen hat. Schon tauchte Anastasia mit uns in die Geschichte und Architektur von Rotterdam ein. Sie zeigte uns die Bibliothek, in welcher sie auch gern selbst während Ihres Studiums zum Lesen geht und erzählte uns von den vielen Möglichkeiten für Künstler die Rotterdam bietet. Wir besuchten mit ihr einige weitere interessante Plätze, wie die berühmten Cube-Häuser, den alten Hafen und die große bunt gestalte Markthalle. Zu den verschiedenen Plätzen hatte Anastasia viele kleine interessante Geschichten zu erzählen und half uns beim Auffinden eines speziellen Gewürzes in einem Asia-Laden , der sich innerhalb der Markthalle befindet. Wir hatten mit Anastasia eine wundervolle Zeit, die am Ende viel zu schnell verging. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Tour! Architektur, Kunst und mehr mit Anastasia

We had a beautiful day with Kotryna. She was so enthusiastic and fun. She took us on a great tour of the city. We saw some historical sites and some quirky ones too. Kotryna was knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. I was impressed because the tour was booked only 1 day in advance, but she was ready and took good care of us. We enjoyed her youth, her energy, and her her patience. You will have a fine day with Kotryna. She walked us to the tram and helped us get on the right one. Thank you, Kotryna for a memorable day in Rotterdam. What a gem!

The 3 hr outdoor tour with Anastasia is a fantastic way to see the great city of Rotterdam in a day!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Rotterdam with Anastasia as my guide. I have to say that it was an exceptional experience that exceeded all my expectations. Anastasia is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who was able to bring Rotterdam to life for me. She has an excellent command of the city's history, architecture, and culture and was able to share this information in an engaging and entertaining way. What I appreciated most about Anastasia was her flexibility and willingness to tailor the tour to my interests. She was able to suggest several different routes and points of interest that we could explore, and she was happy to adjust the itinerary on the fly based on my preferences. Overall, I would highly recommend Anastasia as a guide for anyone looking to explore Rotterdam. She is passionate about the city and its culture and is able to convey this passion to her guests in a way that is both informative and entertaining. Thanks to her, I have a much deeper appreciation for this amazing city and can't wait to return.Amazing, Knowledgeable and Super Friendly! Highly Recommended

More about me

Hi, my name is Anastasia, and I’m here to show you one of my favorite cities – Rotterdam. You won’t find any other city in the Netherlands with such architecture and unique atmosphere! Join my tour and I hope you will fall in love with it at first sight.

I live in Rotterdam and study at Dutch Art Institute. I've been working for more than 5 years in museums and cultural institutions, organizing art exhibitions, public programs, and festivals for children and their parents. Among my passions are contemporary art, analog camera, authentic dance and, last but not least, bicycle.

I will be glad to show you the hidden gems of the city. And if you are as fond of photography as I am, I will take you to the best panoramic photo places of Rotterdam. Together with you, we will walk along the most famous bridge, which 5000 bicycles cross every day, and find out why Rotterdam is the architecture capital of the Netherlands. I will be happy to share with you places where you can taste delicious international and traditional cuisine, buy craft beer from a local brewery, and find out what Rotterdam bakeries are famous for.
