Full description

Enter The Laurenskerk, also known as the Church of St. Lawrence, a symbol of the resilience of the people of Rotterdam. Proceed directly to the Laurenskerk tower where you will meet your group. While climbing to the top taking the 300 steps, listen to your passionate guide tell you the story of the tower. Marvel at the carillon of the Hemon company from the 17th century and the associated giant drum on the way. A spectacular view of the Rotterdam skyline awaits you at the top. The climb is very much worth the effort. Continue your visit to the church after the climb and explore this remarkable medieval building that has partially survived the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. Read about its reconstruction and its classic design in clear contrast with the hyper-modernism of the surrounding architecture.

Ik heb erg genoten van de beklimming van de Laurenskerktoren. Maar, Ik stond buiten te wachten op het Grotekerkplein voor de Laurenskerk op de afgesproken tijdstip, 13.20uur maar zag niemand. Ik heb een paar mensen, die buiten stonden te wachten, gevraagd of ze van Get Your Guide waren, maar geen resultaat. Ik ben de kerk ingegaan, aan de balie gevraagd en ze wisten het niet. Ik ben uiteindelijk met een gids van de Laurenskerk naar boven gegaan. Heel erg vriendelijk. Hij snapte er ook niets van. Ik vind het nog steeds erg raar hoor dat ik niemand van Get Your Guide heb gezien.

Er was qua inschrijving een communicatiestoornis tussen Get Your Guide en de organisatie van de Laurenskerk, wij stonden niet geregistreerd. Daarentegen hadden wij een aantal dagen ervoor ons digitaal aangemeld bij Get Your Guide. In goed overleg met de Gids mochten wij toch mee, de gids deed het overigens super, top.
