Awesome time!

Martin was fun and very knowledgeable. We would recommend him to everyone! We had a great time, we learned a lot about Bruges, and it helped us figure out where to go later during our stay.

Antwerp stories that are hard to forget!

Arie, our Darkside of Antwerp tour was amazing! Having such a small group, he was interactive, answered everyone’s questions, and taught us so many things about Antwerp. Thanks for the cookie at the end of the tour. Same feedback as the other night tour, please clarify the distance between the beginning and end points of the tour. Still a highly recommended tour guide and free tour!

Louis was absolutely amazing. He told the stories with passion and showed us a completely different part of the lovely city brugge. Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone we even got a free beer at the end of the tour!
