    Decadent chocolate

    "The experience, including the history, was truly wonderful once Luis warmed up to the four of us. He loves Antwerp and uses many adjectives to describe the stunning city. He obviously has a good reputation with the shops and they were prepared for us. Thank you Luis for a great time."

    Great second experience

    "We first met Etienne last year for a tour of the Antwerp Jewish quarter and really enjoyed our experience. This time round we booked the \"highlighs\" tour and were not disappointed. Etienne is a great storyteller and knows a wealth or small and interesting anecdotes. Even though we were touring the historic center of Antwerp, it felt like we got an \"off the beaten track\" experience. Everything was on time, his English is fluent. We are happy to recommend Etienne! "

    What an AMAZING host!

    "We booked Etienne for back to back tours; The Jewish quarter and the getting to know Antwerp. His knowledge and passion for the city is unsurpassed. We learned so much from him and saw such a diverse view of the city that I will remember forever. The only regret we had was we didn’t book him when we first got to Antwerp. (We explored on our own first.) Whatever you do… Don’t miss out and make sure to book Etienne to show you his beloved city. You will not regret it."
