Tour Details
This is a public tour with a private guide experience. We'll join the public Waterbus to travel a great distance into the port, but your group is small (max 10 people!), so you can ask any questions you have.
Your guide has worked in the port of Antwerp himself and provides a deep-dive into the nitty-gritty of the port. These are insights and insider-stories you won't find anywhere else.
What Makes This Tour Special
