4.00Luc did a nice job of telling us about the highlights and history of Antwerp. It was nice to have a private tour rather than trailing along with a big group. The directions on where to meet need to be clearer. My confirmation just said Grote Market. We walked around the square quite a while before we stumbled upon Luc. Please say “in front of the fountain” or similar. That would have made it much easier to find the tour guide.
