I am a proud local of Ghent and a passionate tour guide certified for Flanders and officially appointed by the city of Ghent. I was born and raised in this beautiful city. After graduating from Ghent University, I had the opportunity to work in Brussels & Flanders for several international companies, which has taken me to various countries around the world. However, my true passion lies in being a guiding Ambassador for Flanders, where I rediscover the cities I love through the fresh eyes of each new visitor. I love sharing the rich history, culture, and hidden gems of my hometown and region with travelers. My tours are about more than just facts; they’re about creating meaningful connections and showing you the places I’m proud to call home. Whether it’s Ghent, Brugge, or Brussels, I aim to offer an authentic, personal experience that lets you see Flanders as I do – through the eyes of someone who’s deeply connected to its heart. I’m confident that once you visit, you’ll fall in love with Flanders too! Every tour I offer can be adjusted to suit your unique preferences! Whether you're interested in history, nature, or local cuisine, I’ll work with you to create a tour that feels just right. If you have any special requests, feel free to let me know. I’d be delighted to guide you on a personalized tour- no matter the focus. Certified Flanders tour guide Certified guide of Ghent
