PRIVATE WALKING TOURS IN BELGIUM
The small-group private walking tours in Belgium go first and the good guides are booked out weeks ahead. Here are 8 to reserve before you land, and what separates them.
Walk Bruges with a private guide for up to 20 people, following a route from ’t Zand through the cathedral, Markt, Burg, Jan Van Eyck Square, St. John’s Hospital, Minnewater, and the Princely Béguinage. Guides speak English, French, German, Spanish, or Dutch. Hotel pickup is available in the historic center.
“Tour started late, but Jan still provide a full 2 hours and then some and was a GREAT guide.”
Walk Bruges with a private guide for two hours, covering Markt, Burg Square, the Beguinage, Minnewater, Rosary Quay, and other key sights. Guides such as Martin, Louis, Patrick, Kobo, and Wouter bring local stories, legends, humor, and practical advice. The tour can be tailored to your interests and includes a discount booklet.
“Tour was excellent. Bruges is a beautiful town worth seeing. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend the visit. Our private guide Louis was fantastic. His knowledge and passion of Bruges was wonderful. Louis was extremely well prepared and answered all of our questions. We have taken many tours in our past and I believe Louis is the best guide we have booked.”
Meet a Lokafyer in central Antwerp for a private two to six hour walk shaped around your interests. Guides such as Stefany, Michele Berthold, Christophe, and Ludo have led visits covering city highlights, local food, street art, culture, history, and practical advice. You choose the meeting point, start time, and pace.
“Our guide Christophe gave us a very interesting two hour guided walk to see many of the hidden surprises that Antwerp has to offer beyond the regular tourist ‘must see’s’. Highly recommended.”
Meet your private guide at your hotel by agreement or the Ghent Tourist Office. Walk from Graslei and Korenlei past guild houses, St. Nicholas’ Church, St. Bavo’s Abbey, Dulle Griet, the House of Alijn, Gravensteen Castle, and the Old Fish Market. Tours run in Dutch, English, French, or German.
Spend about two hours with a private English-speaking guide tracing Antwerp’s legends, Golden Age, and medieval sights. Meet at Grote Markt and finish near the cathedral. Guides such as Beren, Joske, Luc D, Flip, and Pearson have led this route, which includes cobblestones, historic churches, guild halls, and the story behind Antwerp’s famous hand symbol.
“Beren was a fantastic tour guide and he knows SO MUCH about Antwerp! I loved learning the backstory of the hands you see throughout Antwerp, as well as the Red Star Line’s history. If you’re a history buff, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Beren- you won’t regret it!”
Meet your private guide at a central hotel or the Grand Place Tourist Office for a three-hour walk through Brussels. Visit Grand Place, St Hubertus galleries, Manneken Pis, the Bourse, Saint Goedele Cathedral, Warande Park, the Royal Palace, and Sablon. Guides speak English, Spanish, Dutch, German, or Italian.
“War eine ausgezeichnete Führung. Etwas vom besten was ich bisher gebucht habe!”
Meet a Lokafyer in central Brussels for a private, flexible walk lasting 2 to 6 hours. Your local may be Dan, David, Guiomar, Vita, or another host, and the route can focus on major sights, food, street art, daily life, or personal stories. English and French tours are available.
“lokay Is delightful, a trained teacher, she knows how to get the information across to you in a way you can understand, fully knowledgeable plus very kind, we were very lucky to have her for a wonderful tour”
Meet a Lokafyer near Ghent’s center and spend 2 to 6 hours walking the city your way. Your guide may be Francis, Caio, or another local, with the route shaped around history, street art, cafés, neighborhoods, or practical food tips. It is private, wheelchair accessible, and offered in English or French.
“My guide was Caio and he was outstanding! He communicated with me several times before me arriving in Ghent. He met me in the main area of the train station and described himself to me so I could immediately identify him. His English was perfect! He also didn’t rush me and walked slowly as he talked. I learned so much about the history of Ghent and Belgium from him. I HIGHLY recommend him as a guide of this historical city.”
Pick a city, a century or a supper.
