I'm official guide of Flanders (training 2, 5 years) and official guide of the city of Bruges (training 2, 5 years). I have also done several seminars of Medieval art, Industrial history, mythology. . . But most of all, I'm passionate about the amazing cultural and historical heritage of the Belgian cities. And I'm also writer what gives extra thrilling to my stories and the way I explain them. Don't expect a boring tour with me. I love to entertain people with interesting facts, funny anecdotes, sense of humor and tasting experiences. Because food and drinks are basics in the Belgian culture. I speak English, Spanish, Dutch, Catalan and a little of French and Portuguees. Exclusive tours. I guide in the most beautiful Belgian cities: Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur, Leuven, Mechelen, Ieper, Liege. Also in the city of Luxembourg. Contact me and I will offer you without obligation personalized options for your tour, half day or full day. Well, if you read until here, maybe you are interested in following one of my tours.

Overview of your Brussels tour
During this tour we will discover the history of Antwerp in its streets and buildings, but we will also visit the Cathedral, where we admire the masterpieces of Rubens, specially, The Descent from the Cross, maybe, his greatest work. Also we will visit the Plantin-Moretus, the only museum protected by the Unesco Heritage List. It's about a family of publishers working in the same place since the 16th century. And old mansion from the 17 century that conservates the shinning history of the books inside.

Albert did an amazing job with our group of 4 again. He was always accommodating and adjusted quickly to our styles and needs. The tour went seamlessly despite our requests and changes and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. A lot of walking, but we were prepared for that. Transportation went smoothly as well due to his management between Brussels and Antwerp. After we requested to stay in Antwerp for more shopping instead of traveling back with him, Albert made sure we were messaged appropriate train schedules for our return trips.

Albert was knowledgeable, flexible, and a great guide in Antwerp
Robert N.United States
Our final tour of four days with Albert. What is notable about Albert is his ability to adjust a tour on the fly to meet the expectations of the group he is guiding. He seems to have an endless list of sites and facts that he can use to put together just the right tour to meet all of your expectations. He can adjust the amount of walking, shopping, touring etc. to seamlessly match what you want. Our trip to Antwerp was memorable for the history and the art that is associated with the heart of this city. Far exceeded expectations.
Linda S.United States
We had an enjoyable day with Albert exploring Antwerp and learning the history of Belgium and Antwerp. He arrived on time at our location in Brussels, assisted us in buying train tickets, and told us what trains were best to use to travel to Ghent, the next town we will be staying during our first exploration of Belgium. Very knowledgeable and enjoyable guide.
