Here’s the good news: it only rains about 8% of the time in Belgium. Most of our tours stay dry. Of course, that’s not much comfort if your group happens to be out during one of those rainy spells. If there’s a chance of rain, we’ll make sure your tour isn’t ruined:

  • We provide free disposable ponchos to help you power through the rain.
  • Our guides adjust the route to minimize how wet you’ll get.
  • You can cancel or reschedule your tour for free up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Prefer to stay off the bike? You can switch your bike tour with Antwerp By Bike to a walking tour with Walking in Antwerp at no extra cost. If the walking tour costs less, we’ll refund the difference.

If you book a private tour for fewer than 8 people, the cost is always based on 8 participants. When making your reservation, you’ll need to select 8 participants.

  • For anyone who needs a bike, select “Participants – Including bike.”
  • For those who don’t need a bike, select “Participants – Excluding bike.”
  • If your group has fewer than 8 people, fill in the remaining spots with “placeholder” participants. Always select these placeholders as “Participants – Excluding bike.”

My mom and I loved the tour and the whole biking experience. We had the best guide ever named Poll. He was super funny, kind, and we loved his glasses :). He even gave us a recommendation on a non-touristy restaurant to check out during our stay.

The tour was extremely engaging and we came away with a better understanding of many of the historical monuments in Antwerp/the history of the city.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to bike around the city and learn more about its history.

Really good way to see the city, lots of information and lots of fun too. Our guide was a great guide who told Antwerps story with good humour too, would thoroughly recommend.
