Antwerp was a total let down. The guide was not good and most of our group was there to see diamonds. We went on a Sat and diamond places are closed then.
The tour was fine except when we had several individuals making diamond purchases which then caused problems having to wait for them. I would not do this trip be used the time in Antwerp is very limited.

The sightseeing tour was good, and the guide was very nice, however we weren’t informed that the time in between the two trips was just 15 minutes, and so therefore only had time to have buy a snack in between the trips, after which there was no time till 1830 to get a proper meal. The guide for Antwerp kept smoking cigarettes and this is something you need to mindful of in case there were asthmatics.My idea of exploring a city is not sitting on a bus for hours with a bunch of smokers and perfumed ladies. I regret this experience immensely. Nowhere in the add does it say the entire tour is by bus.

The city tour was nice, but they have organization issues that need to be solved urgently. If you offer the option to book two tours in one day, you have to give the conditions for them to be done in one day. We almost didn't make it to the second one Antwerp because of the time the first one ...
The city tour was nice, but they have organization issues that need to be solved urgently. If you offer the option to book two tours in one day, you have to give the conditions for them to be done in one day. We almost didn't make it to the second one Antwerp because of the time the first one ended, as they were with different guides and different buses, that was some serious miscommunication on their part. All in all, the guides were knowledgeable though not very forthcoming with information about the tour itself, we didn't know what we'd be doing beforehand and that is unsettleing when traveling with a large group and the tour was nice, with complementary drop off.
