Wir trafen Edna zu Ihrer und unserer ersten Abendtour in Antwerpen. Es war für uns alle ein Premiere und ein voller Erfolg. Edna führte uns durch das abendliche Antwerpen mit interessanten Geschichten und Mythen rund um die Stadt und deren Plätze. Sie ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und hat den Salza im Blut. Immer wenn Musik herüber wehte merkte man ihr an, wie gern sie tanzt und mit welcher Freude sie die Tour für uns gestaltete. Kleine Gassen mit interessanten Geschichten wechselten sich mit den bekannten Plätzen ab. Die Zeit verging wie im Fluge und schon hieß es wieder Abschied nehmen. Was für ein wundervoller Abend mit Edna! Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend.Eine wundervolle Abendtour mit Edna

When we first booked we were assigned to Luis, however after noticing that he was double booked Luis handed us over to his colleague Edna instead, keeping us informed and sharing her details with plenty of time in advance. Edna was very friendly and welcoming throughout our entire tour. She told us about the history of the city, it's importance in Belgium and Europe as a whole and even some local folklore as well! The food stops we did we were very tasty, and me being a pescatarian was taken into account too. We were confident that we were getting the very best that the city has to offer! We even got some pointers on some other locations to try for dinner for some other evenings during our stay. Thank you for our lovely tour Edna, and thank you Luis for transferring us!Friendly introduction to the city!

We had the absolute BEST time on our food tour in Antwerp, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Luis! From the moment we met him, he was warm, funny, and full of fascinating knowledge about the city and its food scene. Luis wasn’t just a guide—he felt like part of our group. He was so flexible and accommodating, always making sure we were comfortable and having fun. You could tell he genuinely cared more about giving us an unforgettable experience than watching the clock. Our girls’ trip was already special, but Luis took it to the next level. Every stop on the tour was delicious and well thought out, and we loved hearing all the stories and history behind what we were tasting. If you’re heading to Antwerp, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Luis—you won’t regret it! Luis made our girl’s trip extra special!

If you like chocolate, you’ll love this tour with Luis. He took us to three places to showcase the different styles of some of the best chocolatiers of the city. We would have preferred the commentary to focus more on the art and history of Antwerp. Luis accommodated our need for a coffee stop and a sit down half way through and we were able to travel at an appropriate pace for our limited mobility. We found Luis strong Spanish accent hard to understand at times but as there were only two of us we were able to ask him to repeat words we had missed. Thank you Luis for sharing your City with us.

Jorge ci ha accolto come un amico di famiglia, è bravo ad adeguare il suo giro alle richieste del gruppo che segue. Il suo stile di accompagnamento adopera volentieri delle domande e per questo motivo risulta coinvolgente. Quando sente che c è qualche conoscenza di base nel gruppo non esiterà a farla venire alla superficie. Con questo modo supportato dal dialogo consolida le informazioni che cerca di trasmettere ai suoi "clienti". E sicuramente una guida che raccomandarei. Famiglia italiana

We hebben genoten van de verhalen die Guy verteld heeft. Hij weet echt erg veel van de stad. Hij heeft leuke weetjes, mooie plekjes. Een leuke route door de stad. We begonnen met een boterkoekje in de vorm van een hand. Het keurmerk van Antwerpen. Lekkere dingen gegeten. Een Brussels wafel. Een bier proeverij in een klein bruin café. Het elixer van Antwerpen. Bonbons van de beste chocolatier. We sloten de wandeling af met de legende over waar de naam van Antwerpen vandaan komt. Super stadstour

Edna was personable, energetic and knowledgeable. We were traveling with our 2 year old daughter and Edna was patient, flexible and accommodating- she even pushed the stroller at points! We stopped for coffee, saw some highlights and got recommendations for everything from diamonds to restaurants. We only wish we had more time with Edna and in Antwerp. We left feeling like friends! Highly recommend. Just what we needed

Luis is friendly and very likeable. The route was interesting and his knowledge was good. We would, however, have liked a wider selection of foods, since this was a food tasting tour. Four of the tastings were chocolate; good quality, yes, but we would have enjoyed to taste more of Belgian foods. Good guiding, little tasting variety.

Emma ist besonders fröhlich und dynamisch und damit war unsere Tour auch sehr angenehm und kurzweilig. Wir haben einiges gesehen und Edna hat viele interessante Geschichten rund um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählt. Die Highlight Tour ist gut, um einen schnellen Einstieg in Antwerpen zu haben. Für tiefere kulturelle Einblicke müsste man eine mehr spezialisierte Tour buchen. Ein großes Dankeschön an Etna für die Tour und die vielen Tipps für weitere Unternehmungen in Antwerpen. Vergnügliche Tour durch Antwerpen

I had 2 days to explore Antwerp for the first time by myself while my husband, worked. Edna did an incredible job explaining the history of Antwerp, showing me key landmarks, and helping me get a great feel for the city so I felt comfortable walking around in my own. Edna is such a fun person and very personable. We were friends by the end of my tour. I highly recommend Edna to be your tour guide!Edna is the best!

Edna was one of the best guides we have had in Europe. While Columbia is her birth country, she has embraced her home in Antwerp and studied rigorously to know history, stories and events. She is engaging, effervescent, thoughtful and knowledgable. Antwerp came alive with Edna’s stories. We shared what we wanted to see and she weaved it in to places we did not know to add. We recommend her to all! Charming Edna!

We were looking for a guide in Antwerp, but there were none available at the time we wanted to start. We send a message to Edna and she replied immediately. She moved an appointment so she could do the tour for us in the morning. The service and communication were top! The tour itself was also just superb. She showed us everything we needed to see and asked for our special interests. She took us then to places suiting to our interests and other hidden gems. She did so much effort and she kept being friendly and everything. You can see she just loves to show people around in the city and show all her knowledge about everything in the city. We did many tours were we paid more money but got less value. This one is just so good price-value! Thank you Edna!Superb!

As a person, Edna is very open and optimistic with a big dose of joy and a big smile along with funny comments and some funny jokes. We had a short, intense but rewarding time together with Edna. Can be recommended.Great portion of joy and a big smile

We had a great few hours with Jorge. He was knowledgeable and thorough. I think the address we were provided with was incorrect so finding the meeting place was a challenge but we found him in the end. We really liked Jorge and the things he told us about Antwerp and the reason our score wasn't higher was due to the cost of the tour Vs the things we ate! Just below €200 seemed a expensive. The price could maybe be kept lower if relationships were developed with the sellers and shops. We loved the hersensaus, kalfsrol and bread! The pikant Anvers was delicious too. During the tour we passed a few things that Jorge told us we could revisit (a cool looking gin bar being one) and we would loved to have gone in and tried this. It might be a good idea to suggest people bring water with them as there was quite a large amount of time between the coffee and the beer and this was the time you would eating the most! Overall the experience was great and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Antwerp. Hersensaus & pikant Anvers!
