Patrik proved to be a very friendly guide, telling lots of anecdotes about the history of the city...so much so that we unfortunately did not arrive at the Steen or the town hall from the central station.. We were a group of 25 people, and so, in the midst of other tourists and people circulating on a Sunday morning in the streets of the city, we would have appreciated having headphones and the guide a microphone, so that everyone could hear correctly everything that was said...

Patrick replaced Roger who was unavailable that day but the interest of the visit did not suffer at all: we had to deal with a real passionate and lover of Antwerp who made us want to come back to maybe take advantage be longer of his knowledge of the history of the city and its little secrets. Thanks to him for these few hours of sharing
