Flanders Fields from the Sea – A Journey Through Memory and Peace

Hi, I'm Johan! You're on vacation so let me deal with everything to make sure you get an unforgettable experience. I will guide you with a wealth of knowledge about most of the big events in the last century that curved Belgium, created Europe and many international organizations. I like to create memorable experiences tailored to your interests. With years of experience, I specialize in crafting unforgettable experiences that showcase the rich history, vibrant culture, the old and new economies, and stunning landscapes of Belgium, the Westhoek (Flanders Fields) and the most iconic cities of Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Ypres and Ostend. I’m a certified and dedicated tour guide with a passion for sharing the wonders of Belgium, not only the chocolate, the beers, the French fries (they are Belgian btw) but also its nature, culture and a wealth of heritage. A storyteller par excellence, I bring together the past, present, and future through history, geopolitics, economics, and the arts. Passionate about architecture, nature, beauty, and food, I love sharing insights that go beyond the ordinary. I immensely enjoy spending time with people on their vacation showing them great places of cultural and historic wonder, or sometimes just places of outstanding beauty and intrigue. I like my tours to be fun and entertaining (if we’re gonna spend the day together, we might as well enjoy it), with a sizable helping of information along the way. Born, bred, educated and shaped in Belgium. My tours are unique and tailored to every traveller, I am always happy to accommodate the needs and interests of what people might want to explore as I believe we can learn so much from others in this world we live in. So let me show you the world I know as we embark on our journey. I always go the extra mile to offer a truly special experience —one that looks behind the curtain of the usual touristic path. If you are interested I am able to organise for you a full journey visiting the beautiful cities of Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, but also amazing regions of Northern Portugal, Emilia Romagna in Italy, Tuscany region in Italy. Being a foody and love cooking ... and tasting of course, I can not only recommend a very typical Belgian dish for lunch but also happy to recommend good restaurants for your evening. Looking forward to enjoy one or more days with you and your relatives/family.
