How it works
Boat tour operators near the Erasmus Bridge and Leuvehaven harbor area quote varying prices for Maas River tours, with tourist-facing prices significantly above what is available through RET (Rotterdam public transport) water taxis or official Spido harbor tours. Some informal operators collect payment before departure and deliver a significantly shorter tour than advertised.
