4.00Our guide Shabnam had lots of important information to share plus narrated some local tales related to various sculptures and structures around Antwerp. A little background on why Antwerp is known for it's diamond trading and it's history would have been welcome

4.00Had a lovely 2hr walk all around the beautiful and underrated city of Antwerp with Shabnam who showed us what the city meant to the different empires and painted a picture through the walk of how the city has transformed. Must do if you are in the city, it makes you appreciate your wander through the “straats” of Antwerp much more.

5.00Jeroen was a fantastic guide. When in doubt whether we understood some English words, he translated them effortlessly into Dutch or German. We were 4 participants, but he took extensive time for us. We've been on the road for almost 2.5 hours. A top activity that I recommend to everyone!
Very nice tour of Antwerp
