I am a proud Belgian and certified Flanders tour guide, passionate about sharing the history, culture, stories, and hidden gems of my country with visitors from around the world. I offer private and personalized tours in Ghent, Bruges, Brussels, and other beautiful places across Flanders. After graduating from Ghent University, I had the opportunity to work in Brussels and Flanders for several international companies. This professional experience brought me into contact with people and cultures from many different countries, and gave me a deep appreciation for the way travel can connect people, places, and stories. Today, my true passion lies in being a guiding ambassador for Flanders. As a certified Flanders tour guide and an officially appointed city guide of Ghent, I love bringing the region to life through authentic stories, local insight, and personal experiences. Whether we explore Ghent, Bruges, Brussels, or another part of Flanders, my tours are about more than just dates and facts. They are about discovering the character of each place, understanding its history and culture, and experiencing the atmosphere that makes Flanders so special. I enjoy sharing famous highlights as much as hidden corners, local traditions, architecture, everyday life, and the stories that are often missed in guidebooks. My goal is to create a meaningful and personal experience that helps you see Flanders through the eyes of a Belgian guide who is deeply connected to the region. Every tour I offer can be adapted to your interests and preferences. Whether you are passionate about history, architecture, art, nature, local cuisine, chocolate, or simply want to enjoy the atmosphere of a beautiful Flemish city, I will be happy to create a tour that feels just right for you. If you have any special requests, please feel free to let me know. I would be delighted to guide you on a personalized private tour, whatever your focus may be.

    Fantastic day out with Dorothy! This was my first time to Belgium and we headed to Bruges for the day with a small addition of Damme at the end. She was insightful and helped me understand the context of what I was seeing both historically and culturally. She was an excellent conversationalist and kept the flow going throughout the day. Highly recommend for a fun...

    Dear Allison, thank you so much for this lovely review! I had a wonderful day exploring both cities as well. It was a pleasure being part of your first visit to Belgium, and I hope you'll have many great memories of your time here. Thank you again for your recommendation—it truly means a lot! Warm wishes, Dorothy

    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.
