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.

I only guide in Dutch and English although I also speak German and French and have basic knowledge of Spanish. I cannot guide inside some museums because the musea have their own guides or an audio system.

Overview of your Bruges tour

Brussels is the capital of Belgium but also headquarter of NATO and the European Parliament. Brussels is also home to Art Nouveau (Horta) and Comic strip Heroes like Tin Tin and the Smurfs. The Unesco heritage GRAND PLACE is a stunning beauty and the first stop on our walking tour. Of course a short stop in front of "Manneken Pis" is planned. The Royal Gallery will certainly impress you with a visit of the first ever Belgian chocolate Neuhaus shop. Time for shopping and taste Mussels in Brussels with a nice Belgian Trappist Beer and/or or a Belgian waffle. We then take the car again and will be passing the magnificent St. Michaels' cathedral, The Royal Palace, the Sablon square, the impressive Court House and the Brussels version of the Champs Elisées- the Avenue Louise, The European Parliament and the Triumphal Arch of the Cinquantenaire before heading to THE Icon of Belgium- THE ATOMIUM. We end by passing The Royal Greenhouses, The Residence of the Royal Family, The Japanese Tower and the Chinese Pavilion.
