Experience Off the beaten track tours in the best of
Antwerp with Withlocals

"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."

"We loved our tour with Etienne. It was educational and informative and we didn’t want it to end! He answered every question we had and we learned so much. We can’t thank Etienne enough for such an incredible tour. He is so knowledgeable about everything! Recommend a thousand percent! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with Etienne walking around central Antwerp. We would certainly like to go on another tour of another part of the city with him on future visits."

"Thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Jewish Antewerp and the diamond center and meeting Etienne "

"Etienne is a treasure. His knowledge of the Jewish Quarter and Diamond District in Antwerp goes beyond the stories that everybody knows and into things that only Jewish members of the community would know. Thought he admittedly is not Jewish (I am), his knowledge of and ability to explain in a very interesting manner the customs and history would belie that fact. I have taken some incredible tours with Withlocals, but this one tops the list."

"We walked the Jewish Quarter in Antwerp with Etienne. He was accomodating and very knowledgeable. He mixed the history and his personal experiences as a local. Coincidentally, we ran into him as we passed back through the Antwerp station 5 days later! Lucky us! We highly recommend Etienne as a local guide. "

"We had the tour through the Jewish Quarter of Antwerp on a Saturday. I have had many guided tours in different cities already, but Etienne‘s tour id clearly #1. I learned a lot, was amazed by what we experienced and had a really good time. Thank you Etienne!"

"Étienne knows how to bring details in buildings to life as historical relics that speak to the present. His tour was shaped by a depth of knowledge that never felt tiring, but was conveyed in an engaging and vivid way, making the present easier to understand. He opened our eyes to Antwerp and expanded our horizons in a playful and stimulating manner. Questions were always welcomed and answered with ease. He is a wonderful ambassador for his city and an outstanding guide. We would happily do it again."

"Etienne gave my husband and I a fantastic historical insight into the history of Antwerp, the diamond trade, the Jewish culture and traditions in addition to the construction of central station. His knowledge was incredible, the private tour took us on a journey of the streets surrounding the station, visiting landmarks of significance with a thorough understanding of local traditions. We would most definitely book Etienne again when we are next in Antwerp. "

"We enjoyed a fascinating tour of Jewish Antwerp with Etienne. He is passionate, knowledgable, and a great story teller. Thank you Etienne!"
