Perfect. a very good experience. I will suggest everyone to get around with him and his experience...
The tour guide never showed up. Wasted afternoon. Joris sent a message telling me the tour was listed incorrectly at 1pm and to show up at 2pm. We showed up at 1:50 and waited 30 minutes.
Mallory, thank you for your review. As said in our contact, our guide had an accident on the way to the tour and was not able to guide you. I've offered a few alternatives to help you, and when there were no options, we refunded you. I understand your frustration, but a one star review is quite harsch when we tried our best to accomodate. Kind regards, Joris and team

We visited the city on 16 th June. We were satisfied with the walking tour of Shabnam. Her knowledge about the city of Antverp was amazing n informative. She did engage us in finding out how many " Maria's" were there as she was explaining the historical data.We never got tired of walking as we were so enthral led in her explanation. We highly recommend Shabnam as a tour guide to anyone n everyone. Kudos Shabnam for the good job you r doing. Hats off to the city of Antverp for its rich culture n heritage.
An amazing tour today by Britt, she was very informative - so much knowledge about the history of Antwerp and her humour kept things engaging! Could not recommend her enough
Thank you, Brit, for taking us around and sharing all of these fun stories of Antwerp. You educated us and entertained us at the same time ✨
Super nice walk through the historic center with guide Joris. He is good at telling stories, knows a lot and enthusiastically conveys the knowledge. Nice that he lets the group introduce themselves briefly - that makes interaction easy
Interestingly very personal
Our guide Shabnam is a very good guide who tells a clear story with passion and humor. We enjoyed the tour.
Was very nice extended tour. Shabnam has a lot of knowledge about the city and brings it with full conviction.
