Best Time to Visit

The beauty of ServiceTeam Vlaardingen’s tours is their year-round availability, but I’ve found spring and early fall particularly magical. From April to June, you’ll catch the city coming alive with blooming flowers and pleasant temperatures perfect for walking. September and October offer crisp, clear days with fewer tourists, making it ideal for photography and unhurried exploration. And ya know what? Even those moody Dutch winter days have their charm – just bundle up and you’ll see the city in a whole different light.

How to Get There

Getting to your tour starting point in Vlaardingen is straightforward using public transport. The city is well-connected to Rotterdam and surrounding areas via train and bus networks. Once you’ve arrived in Vlaardingen, the meeting point for tours is easily accessible. If you’re driving, there’s plenty of parking available in the city center, though I’d recommend arriving about 15 minutes early to get your bearings and meet your guide without rushing.

Tips for Visiting

Trust me on these – I’ve learned them the hard way! First off, wear those comfy walking shoes. You might think “oh, it’s just a short walk,” but time flies when you’re discovering fascinating spots, and before you know it, you’ve been on your feet for hours!

Bring a water bottle and maybe a small snack. The tours are engaging, and you might get so caught up in the stories that you forget to stay hydrated. A light rain jacket is always smart (this is the Netherlands, after all), and don’t forget your camera – there are plenty of Instagram-worthy spots along the way.

Book your tour in advance, especially if you have specific dates in mind or are traveling with a group. The team is super accommodating, but giving them a heads up helps ensure you get the most out of your experience. Oh, and bring cash for any small purchases you might want to make at local shops you’ll pass – some of the cutest stores don’t always take cards.

If you’re bringing kids (which is totally recommended!), let the guide know beforehand. They’re great at adapting the tour to keep the little ones interested with fun facts and interactive elements. And remember to charge your phone – you’ll want to take lots of pictures and maybe even note down some of the fascinating historical tidbits your guide shares.

Lastly, don’t be shy about asking questions! The guides love sharing their knowledge and personal stories about Vlaardingen. Sometimes the best parts of the tour come from spontaneous conversations and questions from curious visitors. Their passion for the city is contagious, and you’ll walk away feeling like you’ve discovered a hidden gem in the Netherlands.
