Hello and welcome to Belgium! With over 400 flights in the last 25 years, I can say "I've seen something" but just seeing something is not enough. as a passionate traveler, I always looked for the added value, like the stories behind each place, the small and funny, or the tragic big pictures... Every place has a story to tell, and I love to tell them. I am married and a father of 3, an electronic engineer (to pay bills) and a tour guide (for the soul;-)), being a tour guide allows me to merge my traveling passion with the love of history, my love for beautiful Belgium, where major historical events, who shape Europe of our day took place. Together we can experience cities like Bruges & Gent, Brussels & Antwerp, trying some of Belgian culinary delights (Gufres, beer, frit, and chocolate) sold at every corner, and dive into major battlefield sites from the great wars that shape and change our world, sites like Waterloo, Ypres & Passchendaele, Bastogne & the Battle of the Bulge. If you wish to experience Belgium like a local, let's take a journey and make a memorable tour together.
