One thing is for certain - Rotterdam is an up and coming place.

A savvy local guide will tell you wonderful stories about the city, and on the way you will stop many times for a special bite and/or drink.

The food is comparable to a big lunch, so come hungry. As you partake in all this food, you will also get to see and experience the city's architectural, historical, and cultural highlights - plus its hidden gems. So if you are a food lover and want to get to know the city, its history, its products, and its people, look no further. Come for a ride that will leave you wanting more.

Great communication from the Bike & bite team to organise the tour as we initally did not have enough people for the tour. Even in the rain our tour guide Rob was enthusiastic. He was happy to share his stories and experiences of Rotterdam with us. The route was easy to ride, coffee, beer and food stops were all fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour

Super fun bike tour through Rotterdam. This tour takes you to the lesser-known places in Rotterdam, which are worth visiting for that very reason. The snacks along the way are unique and delicious. Paul knows a lot about Rotterdam, this also applies to Simone. This tour should definitely be at the top of your list when you visit Rotterdam

This was a fun way to see Rotterdam. Loredana is a local who is passionate about her city. We were able to hear from her perspective about the different sites to see while we stayed in Rotterdam. This is a total different type of tour than one guided by a professional guide. We would do this tour again.

Gorgeous fall weather and a really fun afternoon with Bram as our guide. Informative, interesting and we learned a lot about Rotterdam over the course of the tour, not to mention taste a variety of popular Dutch foods. Thanks for a great time!

Very nice guide (Ariane), learned a lot of interesting facts about Rotterdam, good bikes, good vibes!
