Q: Are the food and drinks included in the price?

Yes, the tour includes six local delicacies and three traditional drinks as part of the experience.

Antwerp, Belgium’s vibrant port city on the Scheldt River, pulses with rich history, striking Gothic architecture, and a lively culinary scene. Forton Events invites travelers to uncover the city’s flavors and stories with the Antwerpse Hapjes tour: Een Vlaaike in de Vlaeykensgang? — a 2.5-hour guided walk weaving together culture, cuisine, and urban discovery. Far from a typical sightseeing stroll, this experience brings together six local delicacies and three traditional drinks, served alongside visits to iconic landmarks such as the Romanesque Steen castle and the soaring Cathedral of Our Lady. Yet, it also slips quietly through less-traveled corners like the Conscienceplein and the tucked-away Vlaeykensgang alley—places where history and local life mingle uninterrupted.

The true strength of this tour lies in its balance: expertly led by a knowledgeable guide, it’s part cultural immersion, part tasting journey. Sampling specialties crafted by local artisans offers a direct connection to Antwerp’s culinary identity—pastries, savory bites, and signature beverages that echo regional tradition. This route reveals not just the city’s architectural grandeur but its pulse through the plates and drinks of the people who call Antwerp home.

Because some tastings occur in shops, tours happen mostly during daylight hours, keeping the ambiance authentic and engaging. For visitors eager to experience Antwerp through more than just landmarks, this outing offers a fresh way to meet the city’s spirit. Forton Events anchors itself in delivering immersive local-led tours that highlight the best of Antwerp’s outdoor urban environment and culinary craft, making it a stand-out choice for travelers seeking a grounded yet enriching activity in this historic Flemish city.
