Summary:
5/5!
We booked the english Rooftop-Tour and Anne-Marie was our Guide.
She spoke english well and even as non-native speakers, we were easily able to follow her explanations. She is a local artist and gave many informations beside the main theme of rooftops in the city.
The tour was fantastic. We visited four different roofs with unique settings and 3/4 Roofs were only accecsable for tours. Anne-Marie gave us much information about how the city changed (especially after WW2) and what the city needs to do in the future (climate change, space, living..).
The Tour was about 5km, each bulding had an elevator and a bunch of steps.
We liked the Farm-Roof most - to see chicken on a rooftop was funny.
The Tour infos combines city-planning and sightseeing topics and you visit some spots, you probably want to visit, when you're in rotterdam (oudehave, de witte huis, rotterdam central station, cube houses...) and Anne-Marie took her time to explain some more information about the buildings. She even showed us some street art on the way, because we met the artist on our way (Anne-Marie seemed to know him well).
For us it was the perfect tour for our weekend trip. And the views were totally amazing.
