Guide #50431
Hi, my name is Peter and I was born and raised in Flanders (fields) Belgium. I am a professional private guide and driver in Belgium since 2014 and was a NCO (1th Sgt) in the Belgian Army/Airborne and for 20 years in the Army reserve. After my active duty, I was a salesman and worked in France and Germany. I am fascinated by military history combined with my collection of military vehicles and armory. In 2014 I started guiding. Fully licensed private guide and driver, I will drive you with my personal, comfortable Mid-Bus for groups up to 15 persons ! We would also have nice walks around places of interests and in pedestrian areas, and take a lot of pictures ! I enjoy sharing our local legends and historical accounts. I will also assist you in any arrangements for accommodations, dining, and visits. With the years, I particularly like to organize real tailor made tours all over the countries boarding Belgium. The best way to discover and enjoy a private tour is to be guided by an enthusiastic native! I am very flexible and spare no efforts to make sure you have the best experience possible on your day(s) with me. Your wish is my command or rather my challenge to develop a great personalized experience and to make sure you learn something valuable and of course that you have a great time. Welcome and see you soon! "Currahee" (the motto : 506 PIR - 101 AB) * After Highschool I went to the Military Academy in the Belgian Army. I served as a NCO in the Airborne, in the 1th Para battalion as a Sergeant. * I'm a licensed Tour Guide Europe (2 years/Syntra West School Roeselare, Belgium) * I'm a licensed Battlefield Tour Guide (3,5 years/Syntra West School Roeselare/Belgium) * I'm a licensed Battle of the Bulge Bastogne Guide. * I'm a permittance guide for touristic walks in the city of Bruges. * I'm a member IATM - International Association of Tour Managers. * I'm a member of Tour Guides Flanders. * I'm a full licensed driver for coach & trucks and I have my own Minibus (pax 8) and Midbus (pax 15) no restrictions

Our time with Peter was great! I don't think you'll find anyone with more knowledge or better stories than Peter. The day flew by because we were enjoying ourselves so much. You always worry that a history tour will be dry or boring but Peter was not like that. He gave tons of information but we were never bored. I can't imagine a better day learning/touring the...

I'd give this tour 10 stars if I could. We have used ToursByLocals many times as well as Viator numerous times, and Peter is the most prepared, personable and interesting guide we've ever had. His love of the subject matter and people shines through and we all feel like we have a new friend. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a great Battle of the Ardennes tour with Peter V. We spent extra time at sites with Peter and had great conversation. Peter’s knowledge and patience were both exceptional, since we asked many detailed questions. Peter V was great and I highly recommend him as your guide!
