Guided Tour Van Nelle Factory

Explore the great Van Nelle Factory with a private tour of City Rotterdam. Completed in 1931, the Van Nelle Factory became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2014 as the most prominent industrial monument in the Netherlands. 

You could say that the Van Nelle Factory was Rotterdam’s first modern architectural masterpiece. For that reason Le Corbusier called it ‘the most beautiful spectacle of the modern age’. Designed by the functionalist architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt together with the visionary captain of industry Cees van der Leeuw, this ideal factory is a classic example of the Nieuwe Bouwen Dutch school architecture of the inter-war period. This guided tour is not only ideal for devotees of architecture, but also for lovers of art, design, history and industrial heritage.

Genoten van de architectuur rondleiding

12 April 2024

Wij hebben erg van onze stadswandeling genoten. De gids heeft een mooi overzicht tussen oud en nieuw gegeven.

Zeer mooie en boeiende mix streetart- en architectuurwandeling

22 January 2024

12 januari hadden wij, groep van 6 vrouwen, een wandeling geboekt bij City Rotterdam Tours. Tijdens het aardige boekingsgesprek werd ik gewezen op het feit dat we 2 wandelingen konden combineren. Daarnaast konden we bepalen waar we wilden beginnen en eindigen met de wandeling. Wat een luxe. Gids Frank heeft ons 2 uur lang in de greep gehouden met boeiende verhalen over street art en haar betekenis en de architectuur in Rotterdam, en de steeds veranderende plannen voor de inrichting van het centrum in Rotterdam. Een betere ambassadeur voor de stad kan Rotterdam zich niet wensen! Erg genoten, dik compliment aan Frank, en organisatie City Rotterdam Tours.
