Marleen was an outstanding tour guide. She took the time to provide a very comprehensive introduction to the city. She also offered some lovely tips about hidden gems that were not part of the main tour. I highly recommend it.

The day was wet, grey and cold, couldn’t have been worse. But it’s the guide that made it an amazing experience, brilliant story telling and great sense of humor. Keeps you hooked with questions and rewards you for answering them right! Thank you Luc D for the amazing experince and for doing what you do!

Luc D showcased Antwerp to my wife and me at the end of October. It's one of Belgium's special cities and he's the guide to show it off. He's from Antwerp and his presentation weaves together the city's history, contributions, major figures, and events, and their importance. A smart, interesting, and engaging two hours. He value adds with lots of tips; restaurants, favorite pubs where he and other locals enjoy a beer or two. We travel full time and have been on dozens of walking tours and Luc D is among the best.

The Walking tour was not only fascinating, but thoroughly enjoyable thanks to our excellent guide, Bieke! We heard historical information, Legends and myths all told enthousiastically and with humour. Definitely worthwhile!

Nice tour guide, somewhat imposing, not always gives correct facts. Asks too many questions. Does not know anything about Jewish community of Antwerp.
