If you want to see the harbour, you will get your 75 minute overview with Spido. Depending on the day of the week and time of the year, also longer tours are offered. The tour starts close to the Erasmusbrug and continues along the Nieuwe Maas through the harbour areas of Rotterdam. You will see big ships and containers and get your background information in four different languages. Structures along the Nieuwe Maas and older parts of the harbour close to the city center also for a part of the tour. On the spacious boat, you can seat inside or on the open deck, drinks and snacks are offered for sale.
Tickets are available at the Spido office (8 EUR). Once the tourist information at Coolsingel also had tickets for sale, but this was given up in the time they moved their office to another building at Coolsingel in 2006. Perhaps, this will be or was picked up again.
The tour is a little too “touristy”, but if the weather is nice, it’s a good way to start a day in Rotterdam. For details and pictures about the sights along the Nieuwe Maas check out my tip called "Along the Nieuwe Maas with Spido" Leave a Comment Phone: 010-2759988Directions: Starts close to the Spido offices (where you also get the tickets), coming from the city center it’s on the right side of the Erasmusbrug. The nearest metro station is Leuwehaven.Website: http://www.spido.nl

You cannot visit Rotterdam, one of the largest harbours of the world, without seeing the harbours. I made a harbourtrip by boat with Spido to see the harbours not too far from the citycentre. It was a trip of one and half hour, but you can make extended trips as well of three or six hours to the more far away areas into the direction of the North Sea like Botlek, Europoort or even the Delta Works.
We visited the Waalhaven and other parts of the harbour to see cargo ports of the highest standard. It's impressive to watch the huge amount of containers. The huge cranes lift the containers from all over the world to forward them to their final destination by road, rail or inner waterway in Europe... or the other way round.
It is fascinating to look at all the activities in the harbour, the docks, the huge cranes, the container- and cargoships and all other traffic at the water. Leave a Comment Directions: West of the citycentre at both sides of the Nieuwe Maas.

You cannot visit Rotterdam, one of the largest harbours of the world, without seeing the harbours. The best way to see the harbours is making is a boattrip.
The year round Spido offers various harbour trips. I made the regular boattrip of one and half hour through the port of Rotterdam, but there also trips of three or even six hours to the Botlek, Europoort and Delta Works.
From the boat you can have a good look at the spectacular skyline of the 'Manhattan on the Maas' with its impressive architecture. You will have nice views at the Erasmusbridge and the Willemsbridge, the hotel New York, the Euromast an other sights as well. Heading west you will reach the harbour areas with the docks and wharfs.
During the boattrip there is information in 4 languages about Rotterdam, the harbours and all the sights you pass along the waterside. Leave a Comment Address: Wilemsplein 85Phone: +31 10 2759988Directions: At the foot of the Erasmusbrug. Metro: Leuvehaven Tram: line 5Website: http://www.spido.nl
