We have done three tours with Etienne, and have always been amazed by them. He is very friendly, very passionate about Antwerp, and has a lot of inside information that can only be gained by years and years of experience. Besides he also has this special talent of telling a story with emotion, not just with factual information.Three times a charm

With Etienne we seem to have found "the man" to guide us through the City. We chose the "main sights" tour and were not at all disappointed. Etienne made the three hours pass in a rush with all the little funny stories and anecdotes, we will for sure remember this for long and maybe we can come back once for one of his other offerings! Thanks again, Etienne!! Do not look further!

Es war die beste Art, sich Antwerpen rasch zu nähern und zu erschliessen. Durch Etiennes wunderbare Führung zum Thema Architektur mit Start am Bahnhof und vielen tollen kleinen Geschichten rundherum, bekamen wir einen schnellen Einblick in die Geschichte der Stadt und ihre Besonderheiten. Tolle Anekdoten und die Führung an Orte, die wir ohne ihn niemals gefunden hätten, machten die Tour von Anfang bis Ende zu einem Erlebnis! Antwerpen neu entdeckt

Etienne is the perfect and best possible guide for Antwerp. He has an amazing knowledge of the city, country, and history. Etienne showed us many very interesting places that 90% of visitors would never discover. He is also very bright, personable and a pleasure to be with.Simply the best!

We spent an afternoon with Etienne on April 20, 2018 in Antwerp and thoroughly enjoyed his Architecture tour. Etienne was flexible with the scheduling and itinerary, since we started the tour at the Antwerpen Centraal station and worked our way through the tour in a reverse path. We did not want to spend the day in museums and the architecture tour was the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful sunny day in Antwerp and still learn history of the city. We saw examples of many designs as well as visit a few stores in the shopping district that are modern but preserve the old character of the building. We also learned about what is going on in Antwerp today. We certainly appreciated Ettienne's knowledge, passion and opinions on Antwerp and would strongly recommend this tour!Feeling local in Antwerp

I did the architecture tour with Etienne on a Sunday. Although some of the planned stops were closed, I couldn't have asked for a more thorough, informational walk around the city. You can tell Etienne is knowledgable and loves what he does. It was just me and Etienne the entire 3+ hours and it was so enjoyable to be able to go at my pace, ask a million questions (to which he had all the answers), and get to know him personally as well! I never felt rushed the entire tour and, because he had some extra time, Etienne even walked me back to the waterfront afterward as I had not seen that part of town yet. THANK YOU Etienne for a wonderful introduction to Antwerp! Cheers!Far better than a group walking tour!

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

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!🙏 Antwerp Jewish Tour

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
