Hello! I'm Erwin, and I'd love to be your guide through the wonders of Belgium. Here's a bit about me: PASSIONATE HISTORIAN I am a history enthusiast, with a special focus on the rich and fascinating history of north-western Europe. My tours are filled with captivating stories and insights that bring the past to life. TRUE BURGUNDIAN In Belgium, we call someone who loves food, drinks, and the slow-paced good life a "Burgundian." That's me! I'm a certified beer expert and a huge fan of Belgian food culture, ready to introduce you to the best culinary delights and local brews. BELGIAN BORN AND RAISED I was born, raised, and educated in Belgium. My family is here, and I’ve spent almost my entire life immersed in the local culture. My experiences living in Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Germany for five years have given me a unique perspective on what makes Belgium truly special. EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL GUIDE With over 10 years of experience as a full-time professional tour guide, there's nothing I enjoy more than showing visitors why Belgium is the hidden gem of Europe. From stunning cities and fabulous art to amazing historic architecture and the world's best beer, there's so much to discover. WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR LOCAL GUIDE? TRUE BELGIAN EXPERIENCE: Born and raised in Belgium, I live here and relish every aspect of what this stunning country has to offer. I grew up here, went to school here, and my family lives here, so I truly understand the local culture. Plus, my international experiences in Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Germany give me a unique perspective on what makes Belgium special. EXPERT KNOWLEDGE: I'm a trained and licensed guide with over 10 years of professional experience. My passion for history, especially the rich history of north-western Europe, makes every tour informative and engaging. CERTIFIED BEER EXPERT: As a true Burgundian, I have a deep love for food, drinks, and the slow-paced good life. I'm a certified beer expert and a huge fan of Belgian food culture. If you want to discover the best Belgian beers and culinary delights, I'm your guy. HIDDEN GEMS: My heart lies with all the good stuff this country has to offer. I know the hidden spots - small bars, charming restaurants, secret little streets, specialist shops, and local products. If you want to experience Belgium as a local, I'm here to show you the way. STORYTELLER EXTRAORDINAIRE: My love for history and storytelling will bring the sights and sounds of Belgium to life. I'll share fascinating stories and insights that you won't find in any guidebook. WHEN SHOULD YOU NOT CHOOSE ME? SHOPPING TOURS: If you're looking for a personal shopper or someone to guide you from store to store, there are other guides better suited for that. TRANSPORTATION: I don't own a vehicle, so if your tour involves a lot of driving, there might be better options. However, I'm happy to travel by train with you, which is the best way to explore the cities of Belgium. Join me for a truly immersive Belgian experience. Let's explore the stunning cities, fabulous art, historic architecture, amazing food, and the best beer in the world together. Belgium is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to show you why! Certified Guide Certified Belgian Beer Expert

Overview of your Antwerp tour

Antwerp is one of Europe's best kept secrets. It houses the second largest port in Europe, it is the world diamond capital and has a lot to offer for both the history lovers as well as the contemporary architecture enthusiasts. During this tour we'll explore the historic city center with the stunning cathedral, city hall, hidden alleyways and many more historical highlights. I will give you a full overview of Antwerp's most important historic sites and the history and stories that go with it. But I will also show you the other side of the city: The multicultural Antwerp-north. An area with a lot of potential but also certain challenges. This is where I grew up, where I'll show you where the locals really live. It's here that my mother will welcome us in the house where I grew up and treat us to a real Belgian home lunch. The kind I got when visiting my grandmother as a kid :-). Don't miss this chance for a full local experience :-).
