Super cheerful city guide with a lot of knowledge. It was very entertaining, the time flew by and was also covered, ie more was shown than time allowed for. Were also taken to places that not every tourist sees, according to our wish. Even a great stopover in a pub was possible. However, you should be good on foot, have covered a few kilometers, which didn't bother us. We also learned a lot about Belgium and Antwerp in general.

We had a nice, very competent guide - Hendrik. Since our group was completely German-speaking, he guided us through the city in excellent German. He had some things to look at: photos, maps, glass diamonds and even an old plate from his grandmother's Red Star Line.

Wonderful experience riding around the city and visiting/learning about various historical sights. Are guide Poll (Paul) was amazing! Very knowledge, kind, funny, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend the experience!

My guide Flip was a great storyteller and took me to spots I wouldn't have known I wanted to see. A fun afternoon!

Great fun bike ride with Gaston as guide. Nice history stories about the city of Antwerp.
