5.00Luc was a wonderful guide, sharing with us his passion for the city and his thorough knowledge of the history. He kept it interesting and interactive which helped when my feet got tired of walking. I highly recommend.
Bieke is a wonderful guide

5.00The "Legends" walking tour in Antwerp with Bieke was fabulous! She is a native and a local. In addition to explaining the general and architectural history of the Gros Markt and other historically important places, she also shared with us an insiders' knowledge and little known facts and gems. I wish I had not waited until the last day to do the tour. If I visit Antwerp again, I will spend some time at the lesser-known museums etc. that Bieke told us about and showed us.
Meh

2.00Honestly it was verrry boring, there’s a LOT of talking and not much to see but I guess it’s not the guide’s fault, Antwerp doesn’t offer much sightseeing as a city so they try to fill the program with some verry random stops. It’s only a good option if you have 2-3 hrs in Antwerp and wants to go around and waste the time
Great tour, absolutely recommendable.

5.00It was a wonderful experience walking through the streets of Antwerpen. Luc D is an excellent guide and he made the tour enjoyable. As it is a walking tour, kids below 10 might get tired.

5.00Luc B was a great tour guide for Antwerp. This was my first Legend’s tour but I’ve been on a number of free walking tours and think Luc did a great job of combining history, culture, and direction. Would recommend!
Very nice tour, great guide
