Antwerp Tasting Tour

Antwerp Tasting Tour

Antwerp! Beautiful city, international port, diamond capital of the world, Europe’s most avant-garde fashion center and food lovers paradise.

This city has it all. Sixteenth to 21st century art, historical buildings, modern architecture, magnificent Concept Stores, and an intriguing history with many tales and legends.

Would you like to get an insider’s tour of this marvelous city? Join us for an entertaining excursion.

On this tour, you will get a taste of this wonderful city and some of its local specialties.

Let’s meet on the Grote Markt (Grand Place) for an appetizing walk.

Your guide will share some of Antwerp’s most famous anecdotes, linked to a couple of unique, local delicacies.

For example:

	The famous ‘Antwerpse Handjes’ (Antwerp hands). They are a must have souvenir, and after tasting them, you will never forget how the city got its name.
	Elixir d'Anvers: the expensive and delicious golden liquor in its beautiful bottle is not only served after a lavish meal, it has also saved the life of many a horse over the centuries.
	Mokatine: the oldest local little candy looks quite exotic. When it was first introduced to the people of Antwerp, not only the looks, but also the taste was revolutionary.

Thanks to the port this city offers an interesting mix in population, culture, and flavors.

We end our tour about 2 hours later in a local pub for a fresh Antwerp “Bolleke van 't vat”, amber colored draft beer.
