Antwerpse kroegentocht

I met Flip my guide at Grote Markt. There was clear communication about the pick up site which was very helpful, and avoided unecessary stress. Flip guided me around small local pubs in Antwerp that he knew well, and greeted a few of his friends who were also regulars. He also knew some of the pub owners, one of which brewed his own beer that we tasted. I had an interesting discussion with this pub owner about his beer and its flavour. Throughout the crawl, Flip took the effort to ask me what sort of beers I enjoyed, and helped me to choose accordingly. As a result, I tried a broad sample of both local Antwerp and Belgian beers. There was even a Scottish beer thrown into the mix. Flip also spoke extensively about the history of beer, the different brewing processes and how pubs have changed over the years. This was interesting, and I certainly learnt some new facts. For the final stop on the crawl, Flip took me to a pub that was within a short walking distance to my hotel. I appreciated this as it meant that I did not have to worry about finding my way back. On the whole, I would recommend this pub crawl, especially if you are interested in sampling the local beer, and learning about its history. In addition, you can also meet some local people and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the venues. P.S when I first booked the crawl, I did not realise that it would be a solo one. However, Flip quickly put me at ease and I enjoyed the experience.

Flip is fantastic, very personable and entertaining; he is full of great stories and information. As a former bar owner in the city he knows the area and bars well, each has a fascinating history. I highly recommend this tour, it is a great time with friends.

We had a private tour and the 3 of us had a great time with Flip, learning about Belgian beer and local beer history.

Our guide Philippe was very knowledgeable and fun. We went to fun pubs and got some really good Belgium beer.

My husband and I met with Flip. He was a very kind and pleasant man. Very eager to learn more about the types of beers we enjoyed and made thoughtful suggestions on the types of Belgium beers we should try. The selections were incredible. I highly recommend booking a tour with Flip if you are not only interested in drinking beer but learning about the rich history on which it came from.

Great and amazing guide! friendly, intelligent and a lot background informa about the historical Belgium beer culture.

Flip forgot more about beer than we'll ever know. He was awesome and extremely engaging. He made certain we had a great time

Loved our Guide Flip. So knowledgeable and charismatic. Would highly recommend this tour and is adaptable to any situation

Flip is the best! He knows how to combine Beer with History! Did a fun tour with a lot of information!

We were surprised that we were the only two people on the tour since the photo showed a big group of people. But that turned out to be great luck as Flip was able to customize where we went, what we saw, the beers we had, the stories and history he told. He knows so much about the history of Belgium beer and the history of Antwerp in particular. He took us to three spots that I don't think we'd have found on our own. He was very informative and entertaining! We had a great time.
