Shabnam Muqbil was a wonderful guide who was bright, cheerful, extremely knowledgeable, and punctual! She proactively reached out and made contact via WhatsApp to confirm our meeting time location, preferences on what we were most interested in doing/seeing (my wife and I said we wanted to hit the must see sites while learning about the history and culture of Antwerp), and provided a brief description of herself so we wouldn’t have any issues finding each other.
From start to finish, we could tell Shabnam was a seasoned guide; she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable in the local history and legends, and attentive to our questions. We left it to her to guide us around the city as she thought best, we visited so many interesting sites; she did not disappoint! Being a private tour allowed us the flexibility to stick around certain spots a bit longer for us ask additional questions and take photos.
At several points during our tour we encountered other large tour groups with audio devices around their neck listening as their single guide corralled the guests around. We’ve experienced that type of tour before and it was nice to be able to have a more engaging experience with our guide privately.
If you’re looking for a personalized, intimate, and professional experience you won’t go wrong with booking a trip with Shabnam!
