After having studied languages, I immediately embraced tourism. I have guided for several Belgium tour operators for years. That way I gained a lot of experience and still do! It is my passion to help people understand, discover Belgium and love its great cities: their architecture, history and way of living over the centuries and especially Brussels, since 1997 the capital of Europe! I hope to help you discover the city/ies, to take part in the pace of life! I have lived in the center of Brussels until recently, when I moved to a suburban area (in need of a garden!) We'll admire the historical and architectural highlights, be moved by the creations of the famous art masters and join the people in their quest for gourmet specialties, typical pastimes and fun! All historival cities now have multicultural aspects that will surprise you too! Your suggestions and special demands are welcome. Let's have a great time on foot, by (electric) bike, by car or public transport !

This was day 2 (2 different tours) of our time with Erik. this was an all day tour. We took the train from Brussels to Bruges which was easy. And a good way to experience the country. Very knowledgeable about Bruges and let us decide what paid admissions we wanted to do. Also knew some great photo spots. Great city to visit and even better when you have a guide who can show you the city.
Erik H did a wonderful job on our full day trip to Bruges. He let us set the pace and accommodated our desires to see specific sites. We were particularly interested in history and he was very knowledgeable and was able to share his knowledge clearly.
Bruges is a fantastic place to visit. A great view of the past. Eric led us from or hotel, to the train, thru Bruges, and the back to the door of our hotel. Made it stress free. I would have liked to hear more historical information.
The tour with Erik was fabulous from start to finish. Not only was Erik knowledgeable about the history of Belgium and Brugge but he was very personable and fun to be with. So the tour was not only educational but also fun. Pick up delivery and other transportation was perfect. I highly recommend Erik for a delightful day.
This was my second tour with Eric. I gave him an A+ on that tour and give him an A+ on this one as well. He was thoroughly knowledgeable on the subject matter, easy to communicate to about my presences and very personable.
