What you can expect
Soy guía turístico desde hace 13 años, tiempo en el que me especialicé en tours judíos. ¡La razón detrás de esto es que hay tanta historia interesante con respecto a esta comunidad! ¡Únete a mí en mi recorrido y entenderás por qué digo eso!
¡Comenzaremos visitando la Estación Central, la cuarta estación más hermosa del mundo! Este es el lugar donde comienza nuestra historia judía de Amberes. Te contaré muchos hechos y puntos de vista interesantes, de los que la mayoría de la gente nunca oye hablar.
Caminaremos por el barrio judío alrededor de la Estación Central y haremos un poco de escaparate en las tiendas judías. Pasarás por la sección Diamante, ¡que es absolutamente increíble!
Si desea un recorrido más corto, siempre puedo personalizarlo de acuerdo con sus deseos, ¡así que contácteme y crearemos juntos la experiencia perfecta!

I think it makes absolutely no sense to visit the Jewish quarter und diamond district without a guide. Both are not very spectacular at first glance - so you will only unterstand and see after a guided tour. Our 20 year old daughters also enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you, Etienne!Interesting tour, learned a lot!

Etienne was a fabulous guide. He is well versed in the subject matter and Antwerp history. I enjoyed every minute of the tour and wished it was longer. He was so educational and also a great storyteller. I cannot wait to take one of his other tours. He was one of the best guides I have ever had and highly recommended him.Jewish Antwerp

Etienne was so knowledgeable about all things Jewish. I thought that I was knowledgeable about Judaism but Etienne added to my knowledge through the world of Hasidic Antwerp.
Thank you, Etienne.

We’ve visited Antwerp many times, but thanks to Etienne’s incredible storytelling and deep knowledge, the Jewish Tour felt like discovering this part of the city for the very first time. From start to finish, he had us completely captivated—bringing to life the rich history and culture of the Jewish quarter with nuance, warmth, and detail we never knew existed. Even the grand station, which we’d only admired from the outside, became a highlight thanks to his insightful explanation. Etienne didn’t just guide us—he opened our eyes. Highly recommended!Hidden World Revealed - Thanks to Etienne!

Just in short - super! Thanks Etienne for your explanations and great stories. My reunion colleagues and myself had learned so much in the details you have told us.
The streets and places were not the greatest in Antwerp, but your stories and wit made them alive. Even on Shabbat where the stores were closed.
Thank you!🙏

Wir waren zu viert mit Etienne unterwegs (Eltern, 2 Kinder). Etienne war sehr freundlich, hatte viele spannende Informationen bereit, alles wirkte sehr fundiert und professionell, wir hatten keine Sekunde Langeweile und Etienne ist auch hervorragend auf unsere Fragen eingegangen und hat auch alles gut für unsere Kinder (13 und 17 Jahre) aufbereitet und diese perfekt miteinbezogen. Absolut empfehlenswert! Tolle Führung, toller Führer

Etienne is a phenomenal guide. He is congenial, helpful, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I’m Jewish. He isn’t. I thought I was pretty well versed in Jewish religious practices. He knew a great deal more than I did and he imparted that new knowledge very thoroughly, appropriately and respectfully. I’d rate him as first class in every way. 10 out of 10 or better but they only gave me an option up to 10!Superb guide for Jewish Antwerp

Wat een feestje om met Etienne op pad te zijn. We deden een ‘Joodse Tour’ wat indrukwekkend was en waarin we ontzettend veel hebben geleerd en gezien. Etienne wist goed de aansluiting te vinden bij mijn kinderen van 14, 16 en 20 jaar. Etienne vertelt de verhalen met veel respect en een vleugje humor. Wij hebben genoten! Geweldig

We hebben een tocht door de jodenwijk van Antwerpen gemaakt. eerst krijgen we een uitleg over het prachtige station wat Antwerpen rijk is. Daarna jammergenoeg de kou en regen in maar we hebben genoten van de verhalen rond deze wijk. We zijn weer een stuk wijzer.Een fantastische tocht

An exceptional guide. A wonderful tour. Makes such a difference. He brought the city and its people to vivid life. Perfectly judged for my two teenage kids. Antwerp is a fascinating place and Etienne made us realise this in such a rich and nuanced way. Could not recommend him more highly.Amazing. Best Guide Ever.

In spite of a freezing wind we had another heartwarming walk with Etienne, our third time already. This time we learned all sorts of interesting facts about the Jewish inhabitants of Antwerp, about the impressive central station and about diamonds. Etienne is like your favourite teacher who, sotto voce, always captures your attention and leaves you enriched with a new take on life, illustrated in vivo.
We look forward to meeting Etienne for the very last walk he has to offer, next time we visit Antwerp. Perhaps our only regret is that he has but four walks on offer as spending time with Etienne really adds a special and unique flavour to your Antwerp stay.Heartwarming stories
