Great tour - the right length of time and ample opportunities to see many of the exciting features of Antwerp. For an in-depth visit, you might want an overnight, but for a good introduction to Antwerp and its history, this tour is great. One note, however - I did not find it easy to find the Brussels City Tours office.

The guide went out of his way to maximize the limited time there to see as much as possible. HE was so knowledgeable.

It was ok. Didn’t have the time to take pictures in the grand place. The guide was ok. We had a bid group and we had two guides because of different languages

This was a very disappointing tour. Our guide was such a grump. He never smiled and was never enthusiastic about anything we saw. He did a good job of translating all his comments into both English and Spanish, but he really never engaged the group or showed any emotion. It was very boring. We had almost 90 minutes of "free time" to eat, which was a waste - we could have been taken to more places. The tour ended almost an hour late because of traffic, which was a shame. My MapQuest showed quicker routes, which the driver did not take.
I've taken other Viator trips in other countries which have been excellent. This one was not fun.

The sites that we visited were beautiful. There was a luck of enthusiasm from part of the guide. It was hard to understand him sometimes. Very monotonous, not engaging. The group was large and he had to talk in both English and Spanish. Would not do this particular tour again

This trip was far too short and limited in showing us the sights of Antwerp. I have taken plenty of 'free' walking tours of European cities and those are packed with up to date information about the city's main sights. The tour guide, as pleasant as he was, was not engaging and gave the commentary as though he was reading from a travel guide. It was very expensive for what we got in return.

Very disappointing tour. We only saw 2 cathedrals and the Antwerp train station. There was more to see in this city and was not worth it. The guide was smoking as he was walking with us which was in appropriate. Would not recommend this tour at all.
