Tours in Belgium

11 hours – 14 hoursfrom AUD $743

Small Group Dinant's, Castle and Beer Monastery Expedition

When Alex from our team ran this Belgian circuit, it packed a lot into 11–14 hours: limestone caves, a castle overlooking the Lesse Valley, the medieval town of Dinant, a brewery tour at Maison Leffe, and Chimay Abbey tucked into forested hills. It's a mix of geology, architecture, beer culture, and monastic history — the kind of day that bounces between different corners of Belgian character. Small-group scale means you're not wrestling through coach parties, though the drive time eats a fair chunk of the day.

European Quarter Comedy Tour

When Alex from our team tried this Brussels walking tour, we found ourselves trailing a former EU bureaucrat–turned–comedian through the European Quarter's grand avenues and official precincts. It's a two-hour primer on how the EU actually functions, delivered with enough political zingers to keep the absurdity of Brussels governance at arm's length. You pay what you reckon it's worth at the end. The Quarter itself doesn't grab you visually like the old town, but the insider angle transforms those imposing buildings into something genuinely interesting.

11 hours – 13 hoursfrom AUD $660

Small Group Liège to Aachen to Maastricht Border Crossing Tour

When Jake from our team ran this 11–13 hour loop, we started in Liège exploring the striking Calatrava railway station and riverside parks, then drove through the tri-border zone to lunch at the Three-Country Point where Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands meet. From there it's into Aachen's medieval core—the cathedral, town squares, and a hilltop viewpoint—before the final push to Maastricht, where we crossed the Sint Servaasbridge and caught the evening buzz around Vrijthof square before dinner at a local Dutch spot. It's a whistle-stop that works best if you're keen on borders, architecture, and a bit of ground-covering.

"Edges of Brugge" Photo Tour - 2hr open city tour & workshop

★ 5.0 (25)

"Edges of Brugge" Photo Tour - 2hr open city tour & workshop

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this Brugge photo tour, we found a properly clever way to see the city's medieval lanes and waterfront through a photographer's eye — with or without a fancy camera. Andy leads groups of four (plus one non-camera tag-along) around the old town's best corners, timing the walk to catch light hitting the bridges and guild houses just right. Two hours might sound short, but it's enough to grab some genuinely sharp shots and pick up real compositional tips along the way. The vibe is relaxed and inclusive; whether you're shooting on your phone or a DSLR, you're learning the same thing: where to stand and when.

Handcraft your own silver ring in Bruges

When Alex from our team booked a silver ring workshop in Bruges, we expected a cheesy souvenir station. Instead, it turned into a proper hands-on craft class where you actually make something wearable. You'll work with recycled sterling silver, learn real metalworking basics, and leave with a ring that's genuinely yours—not mass-produced tat. The workshop sits in Bruges proper, a medieval city that pulls in tourists year-round but still feels intimate in quieter corners. The whole thing takes two and a half hours, including the inevitable coffee and Belgian chocolate pit stop.

Private Guided Historical Walking Tour in Bruges Belgium

When Noah from our BugBitten team walked Bruges with a local historian, we got the proper version of what makes this medieval city tick. Over two and a half hours, our guide — someone who's actually lived here his whole life — threaded us through the highlights: the cobbled squares, the canals, the stories locals actually tell rather than the polished tourist script. We ducked into a medieval house, caught the detail in the architecture, and heard the legends alongside the facts. Bruges feels like it's built for wandering, and having someone who knows it inside out made the difference between snapping photos and actually understanding the place.

Private Belgian Chocolate Tour in Bruges

When Alex from our team ran this chocolate tour through Bruges, we hit up some serious artisan chocolatiers—the kind with Gault Millau nods on their walls. Over two hours, you're ducking into working ateliers, meeting the makers who actually craft the stuff, and tasting your way through at least eight different pralines and local confections. The guide weaves in Bruges' medieval history and local folklore between stops, so it's not just sugar-focused; there's genuine city context. It's the kind of tour that justifies calling yourself a chocoholic.

Private MAS Antwerp Aperitif Cruise (8 - 12 Guests)

When Ben from our team took this electric boat out on Antwerp's waterways, it was exactly what a proper aperitif cruise should be: low-key, scenic, and genuinely relaxed. You're looking at 90 minutes gliding past the MAS Museum, Harbor House, and Napoleon Dock while the city's architecture frames the skyline. The boat holds 8–12 people max, which keeps it intimate. You can request historical chat from the skipper or bring your own playlist via Bluetooth. Drinks are on you, but there's a decent selection aboard—Cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, water. The vibe is flexible and unhurried, powered by an electric engine so there's no fuel smell or engine roar.

Private Highlights Walking Tour in Bruges

When Sarah from our team ran this walking tour, she found it a solid intro to Bruges' medieval lanes without the usual tourist-trap feel. Two hours threading past the Belfry, Market Square, and the picturesque Lake of Love, with a local guide who actually knows the back-alley stories and feeds you something proper to eat along the way. It's the kind of tour that works for couples after a quick cultural hit, families wanting to dodge the chaos, and solo travellers after a genuine local's take on why this place matters beyond the postcard shots.

BikeTour Bruges & Damme in Spanish and English

★ 5.0 (20)

BikeTour Bruges & Damme in Spanish and English

When Ben from our team pedalled this route, we found a refreshingly unhurried take on Bruges cycling. A local guide steers small groups (max 10) through quieter streets and lesser-known corners of Bruges and out to the canal-side village of Damme over four hours—longer and slower than the usual whip-around tourist bike tour. You're on flat, bike-friendly terrain with dedicated cycle lanes, though some stretches mix with traffic. The pace lets you actually absorb the medieval architecture and water views rather than just clock the sights. Bruges itself draws the crowds, but pedalling away from the centre feels genuinely removed from the tour-bus chaos.

Sunset cruise

When Noah from our team booked this two-hour sunset cruise off the Belgian coast, we weren't sure what to expect from a motor yacht outing in northern Europe. Turns out, there's something genuinely special about watching the sky shift through pink, orange, and purple from the water — the dome of colour feels bigger somehow when you're out on the open sea rather than stuck on shore. It's a straightforward operation: professional skipper, safety gear sorted, and a calm evening on the water. The crowd is mixed — couples, small groups, the occasional family — and the whole vibe is relaxed rather than party-boat chaos. It's short enough to slot into a day of exploring Belgium's coast without derailing your plans.

Prescription for Beer Lovers: Private Tasting with Doctor Beer

When Ben from our team booked this private tasting in central Brussels, we walked into a tucked-away room two minutes from Grand Place to find Dimitri—the 'Beer Doctor'—ready to flip the script on Belgian beer entirely. Over 90 minutes, he didn't just pour; he asked questions, listened to what we actually liked, then handpicked bottles most tourists never see (including the rarer Trappist brews). The room's intimate setup meant we could ask dumb questions without feeling rushed, and the whole vibe felt less like a performance and more like a mate sharing his obsession with someone who gets it.

11 hours – 14 hoursfrom AUD $4135

Brussels to Dinant Private Luxury Car Tour

When Noah from our team ran this Brussels-to-Dinant loop, it was a proper full-day trawl through southern Belgium's best bits. You're collected from the capital and driven through the Meuse Valley hitting a limestone cave system, a riverside castle, a medieval town, a famous brewery, and a Trappist abbey — all in one luxe car with meals sorted. It's 11–14 hours depending on how long you linger, and it reads like someone's curated a greatest-hits itinerary rather than a rushed tick-box.

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $463

Private MAS Antwerp Aperitif Cruise (13–50 Guests)

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this private aperitif cruise on Antwerp's harbour, it ticked the boxes for groups after something a bit special — 13 to 50 of you, 90 minutes afloat on an electric boat, gliding past the city's waterfront landmarks. It's pitched as the go-to option for birthdays, family dos, or a wind-down before dinner. The boat's quiet, the skipper knows the area, there's a Bluetooth speaker to set the vibe, and drinks are available to buy on board. It's the kind of outing that works because there's bugger all agenda — just water, views, and good company.

2 Hours Private Historical Walking in Ghent

When Ben from our team booked this private walk through Ghent, we got a proper sense of how the city actually developed — none of the tall tales, just solid stories that stick with you. The guide tailors the route based on what you're keen on, so whether you're into medieval politics, trade history, or how a city reinvents itself, there's a thread running through. Two to three hours on foot, moving at a pace that lets you actually absorb the place rather than tick boxes. Ghent's got that compact, walkable charm where centuries of architecture and street life sit right next to each other.

Explore Brussels with a Local Economic Historian

★ 5.0 (15)

Explore Brussels with a Local Economic Historian

When Alex from our team joined this Brussels walking tour, we got the kind of guide who doesn't just point at buildings—she talked through how the city actually works: the economics, the urban planning decisions, the layers of history stacked into each neighbourhood. Over two and a quarter hours, we covered major architectural landmarks, caught a valley view, and snagged a proper Brussels chocolate along the way. It's the sort of tour that makes sense of why Brussels looks and feels the way it does, not just what it looks like. Useful if you're in town for more than a day and want context.

Ypres Battlefields and Passchendaele Museum Full Day Tour

When Alex from our team booked this seven-hour Ypres tour, we got Roger Steward—a battlefield historian who's been guiding around Passchendaele and the Somme region for years. He drives and narrates, so you're getting serious local knowledge without the tourist-script feel. The area itself is sobering: rolling Belgian countryside dotted with memorials, cemeteries, and the Passchendaele Museum. Most visitors are either history buffs, veterans' families, or people after a thoughtful day out. Roger handles the driving and commentary, lunch is included, and the whole thing moves at a measured pace that lets the weight of the places sink in.

Brussels Off the Beaten Path: Private Local Walking Tour

When Alex from our team took this private walking tour, we got a proper look at Brussels beyond the Grand Place. Over three hours, our local guide steered us through Place Saint-Géry (where the city actually started), the gritty-turned-cool Saint-Cathérine district, and the canal zone where old factories are now galleries and wine bars. It's the kind of tour that works because you're dodging crowds and getting the real story—industrial past, multicultural present, the river that shaped everything. A local drink thrown in rounds it out nicely.

Brussels Private Family Tour: Highlights, Tasting and Museum

When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this Brussels tour with a family, it struck the right balance between sightseeing and keeping kids entertained. You get a private 2-hour walk hitting the big squares—Grand Place, the comic-book murals, those cheeky pissing statues—plus Galeries Saint-Hubert's polished arcades. The guide peppers it with treasure hunts and games while you snack on Belgian chocolates and speculoos. You wrap with an hour in the Choco-Story Museum (skip-the-line sorted), which walks you through how Belgians actually make their chocolate. It's Brussels in digestible chunks, neither rushed nor slack.

2-Hour Private Walking Tour of Bruges

When Sarah from our team did this 2–3 hour walking tour, we got a proper sense of why Bruges has held onto its medieval charm. The guides here aren't your standard history-buff types rattling off dates — they weave the town's evolution into an actual narrative, steering clear of the tourist myths that get tacked onto old cities. You're walking narrow lanes lined with period buildings, crossing bridges, passing locals who live among the tourists, and getting the real story of how Bruges became what it is. It's the kind of tour where you actually remember what you learned, not just the Instagram spots.

The Battle of The Bulge tour

When Tom from our BugBitten team did this 10-hour Battle of the Bulge tour in Belgium, he got a sobering look at one of WWII's bloodiest campaigns. You'll walk actual foxholes, see abandoned tanks, visit war cemeteries, and hear the scale of what happened here in December 1944 — a brutal winter offensive that cost tens of thousands of lives. The landscape itself tells the story: forests, small villages, and memorials scattered across the Ardennes. It's heavy material, genuinely moving, and draws a mix of history buffs, veterans' families, and curious travellers wanting to understand the cost of that conflict.

Brussels Highlights and Secrets: Private Tour with Beer Stop

When Sarah from our team did this Brussels walk, we got the real city rather than a postcard version. A local guide steered us through the quiet corners—Saint-Géry Market's cobbled lanes, the Gothic church tucked into the old quarter—before landing on the Grand Place, which genuinely stops you mid-stride. The three hours hit that sweet spot: enough time to see the quirky pissing statues and their backstories, peek into the Beer Museum, and actually sit down in a proper local bar to taste a proper Belgian beer. You're moving at a human pace, not herding through crowds.

Bruges Beer Tour with chocolate pairing by a young local

When Sarah from our team did this Bruges beer tour, she got a crash course in Belgian brewing from a young local who actually helped launch one of Ghent's first craft breweries. Over two and a half hours, you'll hit three different spots around the medieval centre—some tucked away, others bang on trend—sampling five quality brews ranging from traditional trappists to modern craft ales. The chocolate pairings are a genuine surprise, not an afterthought. It's pitched at everyone from beer novices to seasoned drinkers, and the guide's actual knowledge of hop varieties and brewing history makes it feel like you're learning from someone who genuinely cares rather than reading off a script.

Hot Air Ballooning over Bruges city centre

When Sarah from our team took to the skies over Bruges in a hot air balloon, the whole medieval city spread out below like a storybook illustration. You launch at sunrise or late afternoon, drifting silently above the spires, canals, and patchwork fields that ring the town—it's genuinely the clearest way to see how Bruges sits in its landscape. The flight runs about an hour, with hotel pickup included, plus champagne or juice and pastries on the way down. It's the kind of experience that feels properly special without being fussy.

Brussels Private Bike Tour Highlights, Parks and Drinks

When Mia from our team took this 3-hour private bike tour around Brussels, she found it a genuinely relaxed way to piece together the city's character. You'll roll through bike-friendly streets hitting the Old Port, Les Marolles' warren of antique shops and cafés, and the leafy Sablon district, with your local guide filling in the stories—comics history, urban myths, the lot. The route hugs the Canal too, where you'll clock the shift from industrial grit to slick new developments. Midway, you stop for a drink in a proper square and just sit for a bit. No racing around; no helmet hair either.

Private Hidden Gems Walking Tour in Ghent

★ 5.0 (12)

Private Hidden Gems Walking Tour in Ghent

When Jake from our BugBitten team ran this private walking tour through Ghent, he uncovered the medieval city's quieter corners—the sort of lanes and courtyards where locals actually spend time rather than where coach groups pile out. Over three hours, a local guide steered us past the Begijnhof, through the Reep's narrow walkways, and into Portus Ganda and the Prinsenhof, stopping to taste regional specialities along the way. Ghent's medieval bones are on full display here, but what makes it work is the guide's knack for connecting old stories to why the city still feels alive.

Beer and Chocolate Tasting Tour in Brussels min 6 pax

When Charlie from our team ran this four-hour Brussels tour, we bounced between specialist chocolate shops and traditional beer bars across the city centre. Belgium's beer scene is genuinely serious — UNESCO heritage status and all — and the local guide walked us through the styles and histories without pretension. You'll taste at least six different beers paired with ten-plus Belgian chocolates, plus cheese and cured meat to anchor the drinking. It's a crowd tour (up to 18 people), best suited to groups of six or more, and the vibe is relaxed but substantive.

Navigate through Brussels and Discover Beer and Chocolate

When Ben from our team ran this Brussels tour, it combined two things Belgium actually does brilliantly: beer and chocolate. Over 2.5 hours, you're guided through the city's highlights while stopping at a local bar for five tastings paired with artisan chocolates. It's smaller-group, English-speaking, and feels more like discovering the city with someone who knows it than ticking boxes. You get a bag of chocolates to keep, and the vibe is relaxed—no rushing between famous landmarks, just good stuff properly explained.

Transfer Brussels Airport (BRU) --> City Center 1-3 PAX (ONE WAY)

When Tom from our team booked this airport transfer from Brussels Zaventem to the city centre, we got a straightforward private sedan for up to three travellers. The driver met us at arrivals with a namecard, popped our bags in an air-conditioned car, and had us in central Brussels within 25 minutes. It's the no-fuss option if you're landing and want to skip taxis, queues, and navigating the tram system when you're knackered. The service includes an hour's grace period at the airport, so no stress if your flight's delayed or you're slow clearing customs.

The Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in Bruges Centre South

When Noah from our team tried this workshop in Bruges, we found a genuinely fun collision of Belgian beer and waffle craft. You're in a proper old-town spot near the water, picking a beer to bake into your batter, then getting hands-on making Brussels waffles from scratch with expert guidance. It's pitched at groups—hen nights, birthdays, team outings—and runs 90 minutes. The vibe is relaxed and interactive; you leave with warm waffles, your chosen toppings, more of that beer you picked, and the knowledge to actually recreate it at home. It's casual rather than pretentious, and the locals running it know their craft.

Architecture Tour of Brussels

When Lily from our team ran this Brussels architecture tour, we got the real story behind the city's buildings—not just the postcards. A local architect guides you through five centuries of styles, from when the Spanish Netherlands ruled through to modern-day EU headquarters. You'll spot the Dutch, Spanish, and French fingerprints all over the facades, and hear the historical plot twists that explain why the architecture shifted the way it did. Two hours on foot through the centre, picking out details you'd normally walk straight past.

ETCAR (Easy Transport)

When Tom from our team booked ETCAR for a trip around Belgium, we found a reliable airport transfer outfit that actually thinks about families. You get a clean, air-conditioned car with a polite driver who shows up on time—no faffing about. The standout feature is their hassle-free child-seat system: book the right one for your kid's weight, and it's included at no extra cost. The journey runs 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your route, and you'll have WiFi to stay connected. It's the kind of no-drama shuttle service that takes the edge off arriving somewhere new.

Tipsy Waffle Workshop with Beer Tasting

When Jake from our team did this two-hour workshop in Belgium, he got hands-on with Brussels waffles and craft beer pairings run by local hosts who actually know their stuff. You're making waffles yourself—as many as you want—while learning why these two things are a match made in heaven, plus the actual story behind Belgian brewing. It's a small-group vibe in a proper Belgian setting, and you walk out genuinely full and with a solid grasp of what makes the country's food and drink scene tick.

Antwerp Pub Crawl

When Lily from our BugBitten team did this Antwerp pub crawl, we wandered the old town's narrow streets hitting historic bars over two hours. The angle here is Belgian beer itself — styles ranging from hoppy to sour to sweet — rather than just getting hammered. You'll hear stories about how Trappist monks and political upheaval shaped the country's brewing scene, then taste your way through it. The guide steers you toward something different at each stop, though you choose what lands in your glass. Fair heads-up: you buy the guide a drink at each pub, so budget accordingly.

Bruges : Sights & Secrets Private Tour in German

When Em from our team took this private walking tour through Bruges with a German-speaking local guide, we got a two-hour wander through one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities — but without the usual tourist script. Your guide actually lives here and knows the place inside out: they'll steer you past the postcard sights toward quieter corners, share stories that make the golden age of the late Middle Ages feel real, and drop the kind of insider tips that turn a generic city walk into something worth your time. Bruges itself is compact, photogenic, and packed with other visitors, so having someone who knows where to slip away from the crowds makes a genuine difference.
