Calling all storytellers and city explorers!
Do you have a passion for sharing hidden gems and unique stories about Rotterdam? Motel Mozaïque is looking for passionate and creative individuals or organizations to join our team of tour guides for MOMO Festival in April 2025!
What are guided tours?
The guided tours of MOMO Festival are unique experiences offered during the festival, designed to showcase the hidden gems and lesser-known aspects of Rotterdam. Led by passionate locals and experts, the tours provide participants with fresh perspectives on the city through various activities, including walks, workshops, and interactive explorations. Each tour highlights different themes, from cultural explorations to social issues, allowing visitors to engage deeply with the city’s diverse landscape. With locals who know Rotterdam inside and out, these tours have become a staple of the Motel Mozaïque festival experience.
What are we looking for?
We’re on the lookout for individuals or organizations eager to showcase Rotterdam from a fresh perspective. This could be through a walk, workshop, activity—whatever you can imagine!
Here are some examples of guided tours we’ve had in the past, but don’t let these limit your creativity: wild foraging walks, tours exploring gentrification, journeys into Rotterdam’s snack culture and a tour about Rotterdam’s colonial and slavery past and its significance in today’s city. Sky’s the limit!
Who can apply?
Anyone who feels a connection to Rotterdam! Whether you’re a local expert, a passionate storyteller, or simply someone who loves the city, we would love to hear from you.
What do we offer?
All guided tour guides will receive a pass-partout for MOMO Festival 2025. Plus, our experienced team is here to support you with conceptualizing and organizing your tour—whenever you need a hand.

When is the deadline?
