5.00Luc D was phenomenal. Super knowledgeable and fun guy. We loved the little trivia questions with candy to keep us engaged.
Well, worth the $10-$20 tip

5.00This was a free tour that I stumbled on online looking for something to do while we were in Antwerp. Had pretty low expectations and was really blown away Jocelyne was phenomenal on our 3 1/2 hour tour. She took us all over the historic area. She’s incredibly knowledgeable without being dry, made the history funny and approachable. What was really amazing with her curated list of recommendations. We asked her about someplace to go with very specific idea in mind and she was able to pull out 2 to 3 suggestions and even walked us to the front door.
This should be the first tour on your itinerary in Antwerp

5.00The most entertaining tour ever! Showed us so many niche places that you would NEVER find even through google or social media. Our tour guide Luc D made the city come alive and really made me fall in love with the city. He was very thoughtful (finding places to sit) and overall went above and beyond.
Great tour of Antwerp

5.00Luc D was an excellent guide. He shared engaging information about the city and its history, and made the tour enjoyable with a fun quiz along the way. He also gave great practical tips on where to find the best beer, chocolate, and waffles. I highly recommend this tour—be sure to ask for Luc D!
Luc D is very entertaining and knowledgeable guide to have as your tour guide. He is also quite funny.

5.00Our guide Luc D. is a native of Antwerp. A retired teacher, he is very knowledgeable of the history of the city and knows the streets of Antwerp like the back of his hand. Very entertaining and educational.

5.00Flip (Philip) was a fabulous tour guide. He began with the history of Antwerp before we visited each area. He had great knowledge and a good sense of humour. We learned so much from him, and the 2 hours were gone in a flash. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves history.
