Get Luc D to Guide Your Antwerp Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Luc D showcased Antwerp to my wife and me at the end of October. It's one of Belgium's special cities and he's the guide to show it off. He's from Antwerp and his presentation weaves together the city's history, contributions, major figures, and events, and their importance. A smart, interesting, and engaging two hours. He value adds with lots of tips; restaurants, favorite pubs where he and other locals enjoy a beer or two. We travel full time and have been on dozens of walking tours and Luc D is among the best.

Wonderful introduction to Antwerp

Published on Oct, 2024

The Walking tour was not only fascinating, but thoroughly enjoyable thanks to our excellent guide, Bieke! We heard historical information, Legends and myths all told enthousiastically and with humour. Definitely worthwhile!
