Rotterdam lives off its port, and the best way to understand it is from the water. The Spido tour leaves from the Willemsplein, at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge, and in 75 minutes passes under the bridge, goes round the Noordereiland, enters the Koningshaven to see De Hef, the old railway lift bridge, and returns via the Maashaven past the liner ss Rotterdam, Katendrecht, the Hotel New York and the cruise terminal. It has an audio guide and a bar on board.
