5.00My wife, myself, and a close friend were guided by Our guide, Luc D. What a fabulous time we had. Luc showed us around the Grote Markt. and surrounding streets. We visited churches, cafes, and the hidden gems of the city. Luc brought buildings alive with his descriptions and the history connected to them. The stories Luc told were so interesting. The time flew by. We learned so much about the history of Belgium and the importance of Antwerp in Europe. The tour was unforgettable. I highly recommend the tour and Luc D in particular.

5.00It was a very pleasant experience, we had our tour with a guide named Luc D. and it was amazing! It was very interactive and it felt like we could all communicate with each other quite well! I also truly enjoyed the quiz game in which we would get candy for points! (I won! Yay!) It was a lovely experience and the fact that it was (for me and my friends) something we decided on a whim I feel very happy in going through with it!
