5Best windmill Tour!
SO glad we chose this tour of the windmills of Kinderdijk!! It was so much more than we expected! My husband and I had our guide, Mo all to ourselves and he was so personal and knowledgeable! We learned every detail about how and why the windmills work and are a necessary part of Norway. The windmills and the surrounding countryside is beautiful and a Must-See!!

Liv provided lots of history and insights during the tour. We had enough time to walk around the old port are see some of the old barges. Spent several hours at the windmills which was the perfect amount of time. All at our pace and without the stress of a large group.

Mo is an awesome local guide. Being born and raised in the area, he is a fount of knowledge! His communication to meet up is also perfect. He answers all questions and happily gives recommendations for other activities as well. I learned so much about these unique windmills. Mo happily took our pictures as well.

About Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a modern Dutch port city rebuilt after 1940, known for bold architecture, a huge harbour, the Cube Houses, a market hall and waterfront views.
Rotterdam was bombed in May 1940 and rebuilt in a modern style, so it is unlike the old canal towns of the Netherlands: glass towers, bridges and daring architecture line the Nieuwe Maas river, which is crossed by the white Erasmus Bridge. It has Europe's largest seaport, and the harbour can be toured by boat. Delfshaven, a small quarter of old canals that survived the bombs, is where the Pilgrim Fathers left in 1620.
Top-ranked sights in Rotterdam: Markthal (Market Hall) , Church of St. Lawrence (Sint Laurenskerk), Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge).
