Privat Antwerpens diamanter og smykker Old City Centre Historic Tour
Beskrivelse
Antwerpen er berømt verden over for diamanter, smykker og mode, på vores guidede ture vil du møde det bedste af hver af dem. I Antwerpens historiske hjerte vil vores guide tage dig til atelierer, smykkebutikker og guide dig gennem Antwerpens smykke- og diamantarv. Du vil også kunne møde nogle af de dedikerede håndværkere, der er forpligtet til at holde traditionerne med håndlavede smykker i live. Hvis du elsker smykker, er en tur gennem de Gouden Straatjes i Antwerpen den bedste måde at se vores diamantby virkelig gnistre på! Tag i betragtning, at turen finder sted i det historiske distrikt, hvor vores diamanthistorie startede, de flyttede til hovedbanegården i 1905, så du vil være i stand til at opleve historien og se juvelerer på arbejde, men vil ikke se nogen diamant kuttere.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores tur starter foran DIVA, Antwerpens diamant-, smykke- og sølvsmedemuseum. Vores guide vil give dig en introduktion til Antwerpens forbindelse med diamanter og smykker, før vi starter vores tur for at opdage kvarteret og dets kreative juvelerer. Efter turen anbefaler vi stærkt at besøge DIVA, da de er vært for en række interessante udstillinger.
Historien om Antwerpen som en diamanthovedstad starter lige her. Under de årlige messer strømmer udenlandske købmænd til byen for at handle og købe vores ædelstene og smykker.
Wissel betyder bytte og dette er stedet, hvor udenlandske købere plejede at veksle deres penge. Ikke alt var glimmer og guld, som du vil finde ud af, hvor ordet Konkurs kommer fra.
Saint Pauls kirke har en rig historie med sølvsmede og smykker, og den kan stadig prale af et velassorteret skatkammer med over 3000 diamanter.
Du ville ikke være i stand til at fortælle mere, men denne gade plejede at være en travl shoppinggade. Smykkebutikker på jorden og diamantskæreratelierer på toppen.
Den første diamantskærer boede her i 1400-tallet. Find ud af alt om diamantskæring og dens historie.
Pascale Masselis dimitterede fra Det Kongelige Akademi i Antwerpen i 1983. På din tur vil hun gerne invitere dig ind i sit atelier for at vise dig sit håndværk. Hun arbejder udelukkende med 18 karat guld og hvert smykke hun skaber er unikt og håndlavet i hendes eget atelier. Smykker kan laves specielt på bestilling, og Pascale vil endda forvandle dine gamle, forældede smykker til moderne skatte.
Her lå tidligere sølv- og guldsmedens nationshus. Vores guide vil fortælle dig om deres historie, og hvorfor der var behov for et nationshus.
Denne maleriske lille gade kan prale af ikke mindre end 5 juvelerer, hver med deres egen kreative vision og teknikker. Gerda De Vrij studerede i Pforzheim under Klaus Ullrich, en af pionererne for 'moderne smykker'. Efter endt uddannelse bosatte hun sig i Antwerpen og startede sit eget atelier sammen med sin daværende mand, Emile Henry. Siden da er deres to døtre kommet med i forretningen og har sikret mærkernes overlevelse ind i næste generation. Wim Meeussen er kendt for sin karakteristiske kollektion af smykker og vielsesringe. Ved siden af hans flagskibsbutik finder du et andet sted dedikeret til sølvsmykker, der gør hans signaturstil tilgængelig for ethvert budget. Hanne Schoofs søger jævnligt nye teknikker til at bringe hendes designs ud i livet og sørger for, at kollektionen konstant udvikler sig. Designer Eva Crauwels har arbejdet som selvstændig guldsmed i over 15 år. Kollektionen føles retro-romantisk og har et meget feminint touch.
Kunstner og guldsmed Rembrandt Jodan inviterer os ind i sit tværfaglige rum. Kunstgalleri - atelier og smykkebutik i ét.

Great tour that took us to many non-tourist areas of Antwerp. Our guide did a great job engaging our kids (ages 12 and 17).
Thank you for this lovely review!
Did not realize it was a holiday when I booked the tour. I went to the meeting point and a guide showed up equally confused. Everything was closed so the tour didn't happen. They charged my card and I'm still waiting for a refund.
Dear, I'm very sorry your experienced this. I believe you refer to the tour on the 1st of may, the strange thing is that I never got a confirmed booking and that the guide you met was booked through a different agency than ours. Could you send me your confirmation and where the payment went to ? I'll try and figure out what went wrong to get your payment back. The email address is info@degoudenstraatjes.be
8 friends wandering to celebrate a birthday, Viviane showed us part of her beautiful city, main subject: diamonds. History, know-how, examples, the future of the industry. She was able to answer our many questions. Not seen the time pass!
Our guide exceeded our expectations. Very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. This will be a tour we remember for a long time.
Our tour guide was a local who gave us great detail about the history of the diamond and gold/silver craft and business. She also gave us insight into the city of Antwerp. We actually were able to meet two jewelers, one who was featured in the DIVA Museum.
Margaret was a great guide - knowledgeable and patient, tailoring her time to the things about which we were most excited. We were disappointed we went on the day DIVA was closed, but we loved everything else! Our visit to Pascale Masselis was interesting and fun. A genuine thank you to Margaret and to Lauren and Marta of Pascale Masselis. ❤️
Thank you for your lovely review, it was lovely to have you on the tour!
I recently had the pleasure of joining this private diamonds tour, and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we began, the passion about Antwerp's diamond & jewellery history was evident. Whether you’re a jewelry fan or just curious to learn more about Antwerp’s past, this tour is a must. Lauren’s expertise and warm personality made the experience both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antwerp!
Very interesting, nice educational walk. Nice group, Guide shared her passion with us. Perfect afternoon! Thank you.
I would definitely not recommend if there is any chance something could happen and you could not make it. We tried to cancel per the instructions and it would not go through. We texted the number that we had received confirmations from more than 24 hours in advance and even called to no avail. A lady finally called us back and she hadn’t gotten our message because she was out of town at a wedding. No it’s my problem and she doesn’t want to refund our money. Not right!!
I’m afraid refunds are only available if you cancel through the booking service you booked through in time, in this case tripadvisor / viator. I was in contact with tripadvisor to ask if you asked for a cancellation / alteration to see how this could be resolved but they haven’t received any request from you. I try to be very easy in our cancellation policy, but in this case, there is just no way. You booked a tour, the guide was there and all means available to cancel the tour correctly. Even just a message on the platform would have been enough to trigger a response. Lauren
Our guide, Vivien, was just delightful. It was a terrific introduction to the diamond business in Antwerp, including the information that much of the cutting is not longer done in Antwerp because it is cheaper elsewhere. Also the nature of the competition from Russian and other countries. The visits to the workshops were also interesting but the best part was the impromptu addition of a tour of the Antwerp cathedral, which is not to be missed. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your Edward, we're very happy you enjoyed our tour! Viviane really is a wonderful guide
