About Antwerp Port Tours


In mid-2014, I founded Antwerp Port Tours out of an unlimited passion for the Port of Antwerp. It was warmly received: half a year later, the concept was chosen as the 'Most Promising Starter of the Year' by De Nacht Van De KMO.
After tens of thousands of satisfied visitors, we now have a team of 6 highly skilled guides with whom we primarily share our love for the port.

At Antwerp Port Tours, we are all active in various sectors, both within the port, the tourism industry, and beyond. We make time for each port visit because we are enthusiastic about it. It is and remains a source of joy to rediscover the port through the eyes of new visitors!
