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!

5.00We spent half a day in Gent. This tour was just right to give us a brief information about the history and the culture of the city. Our guide, Robin, was great. His narration was interesting and very interactive. We really enjoyed this tour.
Arie, a magnificent guide!

5.00Antwerp was the first free walking tour I ever did. I had found this possibility online and, traveling a few days in Belgium, I was curious to see what it was. Arie, our guide, was fantastic and very kind in expounding the history of the city, its culture and many small anecdotes scattered along the way, which lasted about two hours. He also made us taste the typical hand-shaped cookie! Although today it is easier to travel independently by organizing your own itinerary thanks to online tools, having in front of you an expert guide who accompanies you and above all entertains you is unparalleled! Finally, I would remind you that these are free tours. Don't forget to leave a tip that rewards the work done by the guides!
Very multifaceted and motivating city tour.

5.00Luc Dielen is an experienced and enthusiastic guide with a lot of humor and background knowledge. It was also remarkable that he repeatedly activated the participants via a small question competition. Very successful city tour.

5.00Edna was a fabulous tour guide for the two of us -- so much fun and vibrant. We saw quite a bit during our two-hour tour. The quality of a tour depends entirely on how good the guide is, and Edna was perfect.
