This is a city outing built around two pleasures: short, spectacular watertaxi rides and visits to local breweries for beer tasting. Over the course of four hours you move by water and on foot, sampling beers and fingerfood while taking in Rotterdam’s riverside energy—an experience designed with groups in mind and beginning at Blaakplein by the Markthal.

What the trip feels like

The outing moves at a deliberate, convivial pace: gather in central Rotterdam, board watertaxis for two short water transfers, step ashore to visit breweries, taste beers paired with fingerfood, and return to the city after roughly four hours. It’s equal parts transport-as-experience and curated tasting.
