City Tour Line 10 is a tram line in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, designed for tourist purposes and operating on a hop-on hop-off basis.^[1] A fixed route is operated on the Rotterdam tram network using historic tram vehicles owned by the Rotterdam public transport company RET.^[2] The service is operated by volunteers from the Rotterdam Public Transport Museum. The tram vehicles display the number 10 on the front of the vehicle, along with the Dutch text: 'rondrit' (English: 'tour'). The official starting point of the route is the Willemsplein stop, located at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge.

Tram line 10 operates on weekends during several months of the year. During the summer months, additional services are also provided on Thursdays and Fridays. As the tram line is not part of the regular public transport system, passengers are required to purchase a separate ticket, which can be obtained at the tourist information office at Rotterdam Central Station or from the tram conductor. The ticket is valid for the entire day. Passengers are allowed to hop on and off at any stop along the route.^[3] To disembark, passengers must press the stop button inside the tram to notify the staff. To board the tram, waiting passengers are expected to signal the driver with a hand gesture as the tram approaches; otherwise, the tram may not stop.

All staff working on tram line 10 are volunteers. Proceeds from ticket sales contribute to the preservation and maintenance of the historic vehicles. On days when the Rotterdam Public Transport Museum is open, passengers can transfer to tram line 22 at Rotterdam Central Station. This is a shuttle tram, also operated by the museum.^[4]

From 1911 to 1934, tram line 10 operated between Zaagmolenstraat and the Ruigeplaatbrug. From 1936 to 1967, the line ran from the Spangen district to Kootsekade. It was later extended from Kootsekade to Kleiweg. After several route changes in the following years, line 10 was replaced by another line number due to the opening of the metro in 1968.
