Additional Information
Antwerp truly has everything! Not only is it the home of the renowned artist Rubens, but it also encompasses the picturesque river Scheldt, providing captivating waterfront views at every turn. Our tour commences at the majestic 13th-century castle that once defended the city and its ancient river port. Today, Antwerp has risen to become one of the premier port cities globally. The Cathedral of Our Lady stands as the most magnificent church in the Low Countries, housing an endless array of artworks from top-tier 17th-century artists. Among these, the pieces by Rubens certainly stand out. Our tour also includes a visit to the gothic-styled guild houses at the Market Square. The Antwerp railway station, often regarded as the most stunning railway station worldwide, is not to be missed. Additionally, the diamond district and Jewish quarter are located nearby. During your leisure, we recommend sampling the local brew, ‘Bolleke’.

Antwerp art architecture & cultural experience - Seeing the canals, visiting the Reuben paintings in the church & exploring the city on foot. We made an optional tour to the Diamond Museum which Antwerp is famous for. Our guide - Jasmine knew some lovely panoramic places to visit & gave us time to explore places on our own. She was considerate & had a no rush policy. She even pointed out the king's residential palace & the royal glass houses & shared her knowledge of Belgium's Royal family.

Best tour guide!! - We've been touring for a week now around Europe. Jasmine, by far, has been the best tour guide!! So knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. She's truly wonderful!! Our bus driver was also one of the best we've had. Thank you for such an amazing day! Your guests from America, but originally from Moldova!

Antwerp in July - Jasmine was our guide. She was very informative and pleasant. She had to juggle 3 different languages and did it flawlessly. We loved the Reubens paintings and the story of the young girl and her dog who died in the cathedral and were memorialized in front of the church! Great tour!

Too many people and languages in one tour. - The city itself is beautiful Highly recommended. The add, however, says the tour is conducted in English. It fails to mention it is also conducted in French and Spanish. So you end up listening to the tour guide for 5 minutes and then do nothing for 10 minutes. This goes on the entire tour. Do yourself a favor, take a private tour or just explore by yourself. Cheers.

Great city to visit but not with the guide we had - Beautiful town well worth visiting.
However the tour guide did not use the headsets making it nearly impossible to hear him, did not having anything on top of his umbrella and lost 6 people who could not keep up his past, he also didn’t check he he had the right number of people.

Not worth the cost - The title and imagery is completely misleading.
We didn’t visit the Diamond museum or any Diamond information facility at all.
We didn’t get close to the Zaha Hadidplein, only drove past it.
The stops were not accurate and we didn’t visit the Museum aan de Stroom at all, we only drove past it on the bus when the itinerary said we would stop there for 30minutes.
The pace of the tour was extremely slow, and you only get half of the information because everything needs to be translated 3 times.
Not worth the cost in my opinion, and you would be better off getting a 2 hour walking tour.
