Rotterdam's Watertaxi Beer Experience

OVERVIEW

Zip through the waterways that crisscross Rotterdam in a water taxi and stop along the way for beers at three of the city’s top breweries. This ultimate pub crawl will take you through the heart of Rotterdam, which bombing nearly leveled in World War II. The water taxi will provide a unique perspective of the rebuilt city and the guide’s commentary will enhance your understanding of its history, especially with regard to beer. The exact breweries will be chosen once you board the water taxi, but you can be sure that they will offer a wide range of seasonal and characteristic beers. Although Heineken is the most popular beer in the Netherlands – accounting for more than a third of all sales – there is an abundance of choices other than this traditional lager, all served with tasty snacks.
