The guru was highly unprofessional as he snapped at an elderly person for making a comment about the history of WW2. The guru himself gave us the opportunity for reflecting on the information he gave, and when the person asked what did we learn from this event, he snapped at him. If you're a person who doesn't think inside the box and thinks rather differently than a white supremacist, don't take a tour with this guy.

Great tour! Luc D keeps it funny and easy to listen to. Also recommended if you have been to Antwerp before. The tour ends at the rooftop of the MAS. From here you have a spectacular view of the City!
