The small country that we know as the Netherlands today has a large history, with far more to it than the Dutch ‘Golden’ Age alone.
How did this collection of small states come together to form the Republic of the United Provinces? How did this politically oddly structured republic manage to become a nation of extraordinary wealth, power and prestige in otherwise royally ruled 17th century Europe? What led to its downfall and its end? And what came after? How did the current Kingdom of the Netherlands come about? What happened during and between the world wars? How has the Netherlands developed since?
If these are questions that interest you, you’ll be in the right place to hear them answered. The Rotterdam Tour is available in English and in Dutch.
