Guided Tours

Every year MOMO Festival organises a bunch of Guided Tours, together with Rotterdammers. All very unique tours. The guide determines the story, maps out a route and literally takes the audience by the hand trough their city. The tours allow city residents and visitors, diehard fans and casual passers-by to experience Rotterdam in a different way. Expect something different than views of the icons like Erasmusbrug or Central Station. Whether you’re interested in exploring Rotterdam’s street art, foraging for urban wild plants, discovering hidden creative music spaces, joining a brewery tour, or understanding the city’s nightlife culture – there’s a unique perspective waiting for you.

Tours are free of charge and registration based, make sure to secure your spot.
