Here’s an overview of your tour

Enjoy a leisurely ride in an air-conditioned, comfortable and private minibus through the city of Bruges and the Flemish countryside. We discover the medieval magic of Bruges, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and cruise through many other picturesque Flemish villages and cities, learning about their unique heritage. We will visit a marina in Ostend and drive past parts of Hitler's Atlantic Wall as well as the battlefields and cemeteries of World War I. Not forgetting other Flemish secrets we will visit a site connected with mysterious Knights Templars and even an abbey producing the best beer in the world.

I am an independent historical researcher with a passion for archaeology and exploration. During our trip I will share with you the fascinating facts about Flanders, stopping anywhere we like for in-depth exploration or a break with optional tastings. This tour can be fully personalised to your requirements.
