This was a great walking tour as our tour guide did an amazing job at explaining everything and delved deep into the history of the city. Also very enthusiastic and loud and equally fun!
Very informative, entertaining and good humour. Luc B was awesome and gave an impressive snapshot of Antwerp history.
Luc D is a great story teller and it was fun to spot all the Madonnas and get a greater understanding for the city were visiting :))
The experience is worthwhile and very informative and the guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable , and should be compensated .
Informative and interesting. Well versed in history with engaging presentation.
Helpful food , cookies and chocolate recommendations.
Even better than expected! We saw so much and got great tips. I highly recommend this to anyone curious. Bieke was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, kind & fun!
Just finished the tour with Marleen and the entire tour was engaging and informative. Highly recommend!
Our guide was Luc B., and even now, when I tell people about our day trips, I find myself raving about him. His knowledge, his voice, his kindness, his reverence, and his love of his City were refreshing. Touring with him inspired us to use this company in Brussels and Ghent as well.
The "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.
Be prepared to walk. So much interesting details offered. Highlight Medieval street at end. Covers Antwerp from beginning to end.
Marc, our tour guide shared a lot of historical facts and stories. We enjoyed our tour. We would recommend it to anyone.
Beren was an excellent tour guide, I really enjoyed listening to him explain the history of Antwerp and I have a better understanding of the culture and the people!
Very good. Marc was very nice and informative and it was the perfect tour learning about Antwerp and its history

It’s a great deep dive into the history of Antwerp. Filip was informative, entertaining, had a lovely way of storytelling & the 2 hours simply flew! So glad I did it & very impressed with how Antwerp came to be 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Gaston took us around the city of Antwerp and showed us some areas we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It was informative and we learned a lot.
Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide (Beren). The two hour length was perfect and the group size wasn’t too big.
Went with my family including kids age 11 & 15. Great history and tour of the city. Large group but it was no problem hearing the guide.
Luc D was phenomenal. Super knowledgeable and fun guy. We loved the little trivia questions with candy to keep us engaged.
Flip (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.
The guide was very well informed and a great host. The walk was at a good pace. I learned a lot about the history of Antwerp!
