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.

I booked on behalf of my client, Greg, and his party of three. Greg and company were very happy with their day trip to Bruges. Dorothy was very informative and they appreciated the extra effort in picking them up from Dunkirk to enjoy the day tour. As a travel agent, Dorothy was very responsive and flexible to accommodate any needs that were requested. Highly recommended!

Dorthy showed us the highlights and the unique sites of Brugge. We walked the city, we tasted the best chocolate, sampled the local beers, and then escaped to Dammes for a bucket of mussels w/ garlic and creme, local frites, and storks on their nests atop the chimneys. The other wonderful thing is when your guide is as interesting as the sites you are seeing. Everything is just memorable when this combines.

Dorothy was an excellent tour guide, and really went above and beyond to accommodate the changes we were interested in. I would definitely book with her again.

Your Bruges tour itinerary

A day in Brugge combined with a visit to scenic Damme (approx 20 min by car) Some of the must sees in Bruges: • The Burg Square & the Basilica of the Holy Blood. • The Belfry Tower dominates the city skyline, and you’ll learn about its role in the city’s history as a medieval bell tower and watchtower. • The Markt Square – The Heart of Brugge with its surrounding guild houses. • Canal Walks: Brugge is often called the “Venice of the North,” and the canals are the perfect place to admire the city from a different perspective. • Saint-Johns hospital: founded in the 12th, one of the oldest preserved hospitals in Europe. • The Minnewater Lake: The "Lake of Love," where we enjoy a peaceful view of the swans gliding across the water. • Some hidden gems & charming squares often overlooked by large tour groups. After our visit in Bruges, we drive to Damme. Damme is a hidden gem just outside Bruges, the perfect place to experience authentic Flemish life away from the crowds.
