Hello World ! Belgium Calling ! I am Peter and Belgium is my home. Over 40 years I traveled professionally as a Tour Conductor with groups to destinations all over the world. Amazed about the beauty of each destination I had the pleasure of visiting. Privileged I had the chance to get acquainted to friends world wide. Every time I came back to my home country I was both frustrated and impressed by our tiny country. Frustrated because so few people in the world seem to know us and Belgians seem to be the worst anti-chauvinists. Impressed by its beauty, its wonderful historic cities, its nature and its culture and heritage. I retired from my job in tourism in June 2019 and am now a full time guide. I am an official City Guide in Antwerp. Brussels, Ghent, Bruges and our beautiful rivers (as a guide on river cruises) came next on the list. Flanders Fields (WWI) and Bastogne (WWII) are often visited by my guests. I want to share my knowledge and passion for Belgium to all of those whom I guide. Apart from my experience as a tour guide and a city guide I am also a specialist in Belgian Beers - the Belgian Beer Culture is a Unesco heritage - and I had the pleasure of attending courses at the Callebaut Chocolate Academy. Let me share my knowledge of my country on your next visit. A regular tour can be booked here but I prefer to work tailor made. I can offer either walking tours or driving/guide you around in my luxury Van seating 5 passengers.

Peter was terrific and we loved our time with him. He is delightful, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and a true professional. You will not be disappointed by using Peter. We would use him again 100%.
A lovely way to see Bruges and Ghent in a more personal way. The pickup at our Brussels hotel was easy as was the return. The walking tour of Bruges was excellent filled with history, art, culture and humor. We enjoyed a nice lunch, some shopping and excellent chocolates. The boat tour in Ghent was fun and informative. Unfortunately, we were late arriving and had to cut...
Great tour, very interesting and informative with a very engaging and competent tour guide.
We had so much fun touring Bruges with Peter! He taught us all about the history and delicious food of this beautiful place. The tour felt really special because Peter showed us places only locals know to visit. His sense of humor and knowledge of the area made the outing fun for all of us, including our three teenage sons. It was such a relief to have Peter pick us up...
