Bravo, Luc VP for this Antwerp/Brussels intro! - Luc VP was an engaging and energetic guide for this walking tour. I was the sole native english speaker in this group and his grasp of humor, idioms, puns, and general comparisons was spot on. You can expect history, religion, architecture, the arts, navigation, and cultural recommendations for re-visits. I thoroughly enjoyed myself...a City experience to not miss! Well done!

surprising, interesting - The tour is very recommendable for everyone who want to get a first impression of the city and is also interested in the meaning behind many obvious and not so obvious sights. Our guide Marijke is a kind, local woman that tells you the story of antwerp with lots of enthusiasm and humor. It's guaranteed that after the tour you're looking at the city from a completely different angle.

Enjoyable walkable tour! - Serge was a great guide! Enjoyed all the info and the scenery! We came from Brussels by train and walked quite a ways to the meeting spot, interestingly we ended our tour back at the train station and had to walk back to the oude market to see other sites. Thought it might have been better to start at the train station. 😁

Wonderful tour - personalized and excellent! - Marijke (sp?)/Mary was a wonderful tour guide! Our team/train route ran late and because we were the only two guests, she waited 20 minutes for us. She tailored her discussion to share personal experiences, country-wide customs and in-depth info about Antwerp itself that answered all our questions. Mary also showed us places off the beaten path, including a super beautiful, quaint and cozy garden cafe, t’Hofke, down a quiet alley, and it was the most special meal we’ve had in Belgium yet. She helped make Antwerp our favorite city tour in Belgium! Highly recommend!

A must do in Antwerp - The Jewish Neighborhood Very interesting tour, great guide. - This was a great tour, Marc L. our guide was absolutely wonderful. He had extensive knowledge of the subject and was also very entertaining. We got a good insight into the customs and lives of the Orthodox Jews, as well as background information on the History of Judaism. This was a very interesting tour, which I highly reccommend.
