4-Hour Rotterdam Breweries and Boat Tour with Guided Tastings

This comprehensive 4-hour tour combines Rotterdam's thriving craft beer scene with scenic boat rides through the city's waterways. You'll visit local breweries including the Pelgrim City Brewery, Rotterdam's only city brewery since 1995, where expert guides share brewing techniques and the city's beer heritage.

The tour takes you to carefully selected breweries across different neighbourhoods, offering five regional beer tastings paired with traditional Dutch snacks like cheese and bitterballen. At the Fenix Food Factory, you'll enjoy a proper cheese tasting session with local producers showcasing their finest selections.

Between brewery stops, you'll hop aboard two different water taxis for scenic rides along Rotterdam's rivers and canals. These boat journeys provide excellent views of the city's modern skyline and waterfront landmarks whilst your guide shares stories about the architecture and ongoing urban transformation.
