I am a proud local of Ghent and a passionate tour guide certified for Flanders and officially appointed by the city of Ghent. I was born and raised in this beautiful city. After graduating from Ghent University, I had the opportunity to work in Brussels & Flanders for several international companies, which has taken me to various countries around the world. However, my true passion lies in being a guiding Ambassador for Flanders, where I rediscover the cities I love through the fresh eyes of each new visitor. I love sharing the rich history, culture, and hidden gems of my hometown and region with travelers. My tours are about more than just facts; they’re about creating meaningful connections and showing you the places I’m proud to call home. Whether it’s Ghent, Brugge, or Brussels, I aim to offer an authentic, personal experience that lets you see Flanders as I do – through the eyes of someone who’s deeply connected to its heart. I’m confident that once you visit, you’ll fall in love with Flanders too! Every tour I offer can be adjusted to suit your unique preferences! Whether you're interested in history, nature, or local cuisine, I’ll work with you to create a tour that feels just right. If you have any special requests, feel free to let me know. I’d be delighted to guide you on a personalized tour- no matter the focus. Certified Flanders tour guide Certified guide of Ghent

    Dorothy was outstanding! She is personable, knowledgeable and flexible. It was one of the best tours we’ve had. She keyed in on the highlights without sacrificing some of the additional information she wanted us to have. The day was packed and thoroughly enjoyable!

    Bruges is a must for a tour if you visit Brussels and Dorothy was a fantastic guide. Picked us up from our Brussels apartment and thoroughly entertained us for the whole day. Ensured we had a market waffle with Belgian chocolate and a proper tasting of coconut and. Cherry beer.

    Dorothy picked us up right on schedule, and the vehicle was very comfortable. She drove us to all the towns and villages we requested, and even went the extra mile by selecting on our behalf, a place connected to a relative in the area. She spotted a truck with my relative’s name on it, and when we spoke to the local owner, it turned out to be my relative! She was very...
