Our guide Joske was so knowledgeable and accommodating made the history come alive. Highly recommend if you’re comfortable walking etc. on cobblestones.

Beren was a fantastic tour guide and he knows SO MUCH about Antwerp! I loved learning the backstory of the hands you see throughout Antwerp, as well as the Red Star Line’s history. If you’re a history buff, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Beren- you won’t regret it!
