Antwerp rewards a guide more than it rewards a map: the Rubens paintings are spread across a church, a house and a museum, and the diamond quarter means nothing without someone explaining it. Walking and bike tours here run two hours or so and cost less than the equivalent in Bruges. Details and prices for each are below.

“The tour guide, Pablo, was amazing. He was funny, engaging, knowledgable, charismatic and smart. He had great patience with some members of the group who were making things harder to hear than they needed to be and helped keep everyone to time. Both Antwerp and Ghent were beautiful. I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if they get Pablo as their guide.”

“Great info about Antwerp and Serge was excellent!! Ended at the train station which is where we arrived and walked to the meet point. After the tour we still had more sightseeing to do back at the meeting point so we had to walk all the way back. While not a terrible distance it would have been nice to end at the old town area vs at the train station to save a few steps and time.”

“We had an excellent guide, Julianna. Both cities were really interesting but there was too little free time. 90 minutes free time isn’t even enough to go get dinner and be sure you have time to walk back to the meeting point. Would ideally have done these two cities in separate trips but there was no tour that did this.”

Really interesting and informative.”
