Rotterdam tours for storm surge nerds?

We are planning are TA next year and will be stopping in Rotterdam. My husband would love to see/learn more about some of the engineering marvels that have been designed for surge control in The Netherlands. (He's seen the documentaries; storm surge research is one of his passions.)

 

Is there a tour that caters to a niche interest like this?

Hi,

Planning to go there myself next time in Rotterdam. I found these sites of help.

If your ship docks up beyond the gates the views from the water are pretty awesome too.

 

Happy cruising :)
