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.

★ 5.0 (35)

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.

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.

Bruges Small-Group Guided Tour Including Boat and Praline

★ 5.0 (27)

Bruges Small-Group Guided Tour Including Boat and Praline

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this Bruges small-group tour, he found a refreshing antidote to the usual canal-side shuffle. You get two hours walking the medieval lanes with a local guide who actually lives here, a boat float through the waterways, and a Belgian praline to finish. The group stays small—no herded-around-like-cattle vibes—and Bruges itself is compact enough that you'll see the key spots (Beguinage, Market Square, St. John's Hospital) without feeling rushed. It's the kind of tour where the guide remembers your name and steers clear of the obvious selfie spots.

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.

Small Group Liège to Aachen to Maastricht Border Crossing Tour

★ 5.0 (27)

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.

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.

2h 30mfrom AUD $91

BikeTour Bruges & Damme in Spanish and English

★ 5.0 (23)

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.

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 Highlights Walking Tour in Bruges

★ 5.0 (22)

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.

Discovery of the La Senne Brewery

When Jake from our team visited La Senne Brewery in Belgium, he got a proper look at how a craft operation actually works — not just the polished front-of-house stuff. The tour runs 90 minutes and takes you through the production floor where you can see the gear, the process, and the people doing the work. You finish with four beers to taste, guided properly by someone who knows the product. It's a straight-up brewery experience in a spot with decent public transport links, and it suits most fitness levels.

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.

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.

Beer tasting in a Brussels Micro Brewery and Distillery

When Ben from our team ducked into Tipsy Tribe Brewery & Distillery in central Brussels, he got the full working-brewery experience without the tourist polish. The spot's a proper microbrewery where they actually brew on-site, and you get a guided walk through the whole operation—from ingredient sourcing to the glass in your hand. You'll taste two in-house brews and chat directly with the head brewer or a co-founder about what drives their small-batch approach. It's a tight hour, but it genuinely reads like you're getting the inside story rather than a canned pitch.

Brussels Private Family Tour: Highlights, Tasting and Museum

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $463

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 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.

Brussels Highlights and Secrets: Private Tour with Beer Stop

★ 5.0 (14)

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.

Private Brussels Walking Food Tour

When Charlie from our team did this private Brussels food tour, we got a real taste of what makes the city's food scene tick — without the group-tour chaos. Three hours, just us and a local guide, moving through neighbourhoods sampling everything from freshly baked brioche and world-class chocolate to Carbonnade flamande (beef stew that's genuinely good comfort food) and the obligatory Belgian waffles and fries. It's the kind of tour where the guide actually knows your name and can chat properly about why these dishes matter to Belgian culture, rather than rushing you through photo stops.

3 hoursfrom AUD $1234

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.

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.

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $463

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.

Horta House Tickets and Gems in Art Nouveau Private Tour

Horta House Tickets and Gems in Art Nouveau Private Tour

When Tom from our team did this Brussels Art Nouveau walk, we got the full architect's-eye view without queuing. The Horta Museum — Victor Horta's own townhouse — is the centrepiece, a three-hour private tour that takes you through his workspace, living quarters, and the design philosophy that made him tick. You'll also clock Hotel Solvay, Hotel Tassel, Maison Hannon, and a few other façades that showcase how Brussels became the epicentre of Art Nouveau in the 1890s. The guide walks you through the actual innovation: how these architects bent steel and glass into forms no one had tried before. If you're into design history or just want to see a city that took aesthetic risks on every street corner, this works.

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.

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.

2 hoursfrom AUD $99

Brussels Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour

★ 5.0 (12)

Brussels Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this Brussels walking tour, we got a genuinely flexible introduction to the city that actually works. You start near the Grand Place area, link up with a guide who actually listens to what you're after, then move through the big-ticket spots—St. Nicholas Church, the Royal Palace, Grand Place itself—plus whatever hidden corners your guide reckons are worth the detour. It's three hours on foot through the centre, mixing architecture chat with local food tips, and the guide'll help sort entry tickets if you want to duck inside anywhere. Brussels moves at a manageable pace, and this setup leans into the personal angle rather than herding.

Bruges Boutique Retro Biketour with Chocolate and Waffle Tasting

Bruges Boutique Retro Biketour with Chocolate and Waffle Tasting

When Lily from our BugBitten team pedalled through Bruges on a retro bike, she found a genuinely local way to see the medieval heart of the city. This small-group tour (max 8 people) loops past the Belfry, Market Square, Church of Our Lady, the Windmills, Lake of Love, and hidden corners only a native guide would know. You'll stop for chocolate and waffles along the way, then wind down in a quiet garden with a local drink. It's 2.5 hours of cobblestone riding, stories, and insider tips — the kind of tour that leaves you feeling like you've actually met the place, not just ticked off landmarks.

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.

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.

4 hoursfrom AUD $2012

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.

Antwerp: Port of Antwerp Public Boat Tour with Expert Guide

Antwerp: Port of Antwerp Public Boat Tour with Expert Guide

When Noah from our BugBitten team boarded the Waterbus for this Antwerp port tour, he expected standard sightseeing — instead got a working guide who'd actually spent time inside the docks. This isn't a packed public boat; your group tops out at 10 people, so you're small enough to ask proper questions while riding deep into one of Europe's busiest working ports. The 3 hour 15 minute journey winds through container terminals, massive cranes, and industrial complexity most tourists never see, with a café stop midway to stretch and grab a drink.

3h 15mfrom AUD $107

Premium City Bike Tours in Bruges

When Charlie from our team rode this Bruges bike tour, we found ourselves pedalling through cobbled laneways and along canal-side routes with a local guide who actually knew the city's rhythms. It's a 2-hour guided spin through medieval Bruges capped at 8 people per group — small enough that you're not trailing a pack, intimate enough that the guide remembers your name and tailors the route to what you're keen on. The cruiser bikes handle the uneven streets without drama, and you move at a pace that lets you soak in landmarks and sightlines without feeling rushed.

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.

Private Tour in Bruges, with Local Guide + Chocolate and Beer

When Jake from our BugBitten team booked a private tour in Bruges, he got the city to himself with a local guide who knows where the tourists don't wander. Over two hours, you'll hit the big-name spots—canals, medieval squares, the lot—but the real draw is the insider angle: hidden laneways, the stories behind the sights, and a proper sense of what makes this place tick. It wraps with Belgian chocolate and a beer in a 16th-century tavern. Bruges is compact and walkable, packed with day-trippers, so having one guide's full attention makes a real difference.

★ 5.0 (10)

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.

TV like Ultimate Quiz Experience in Ghent

When Alex from our BugBitten team hit Quiz Room in Ghent, we found a sharp bit of entertainment that lives up to its TV-show premise. You're booked into The Original Quiz by default—a broad-brush trivia format that'll test everything from celebrity spotting to cake ingredients—but you can switch games on arrival if the mood takes you. The setup's slick: pick your quiz type, grab a buzzer, and go for 90 minutes in a room designed to feel like the real deal. It's a crowd-pleaser for mixed-knowledge groups and works just as well for a team night out as it does for families with kids aged 8 and up.

Historic Highlights, by a local guide

When Ben from our BugBitten team walked through Gent with a local guide, two hours vanished. The guide—a history professor by trade—doesn't just rattle off dates; he connects you to the stories baked into each streetfront and stone. You'll hit the key historical sites, but the real draw is watching someone genuinely love their city enough to make its past feel present. First-timers especially get a solid grounding in what shaped Gent, and the pace lets you actually absorb it rather than tick boxes.

Bruges Private Guided Retro Biketour, Highlights & Hidden Gems

When Charlie from our BugBitten team pedalled through Bruges on this private bike tour, it was immediately clear we weren't on the standard circuit. Led by an actual Bruges local who still lives here, the ride weaves through cobbled streets, quiet canals, and hidden courtyards — plus you get exclusive access to a private medieval palace most tourists never see. Over 2.5 hours, it's a proper slow-travel experience through the UNESCO-listed city, with the guide sharing real stories and local knowledge rather than the usual spiel. You're on a retro bike (or e-bike if you prefer), and the route is fully customizable to your pace and interests.

Guided Antwerp Port Tour, in your Car or Minibus

When Mia from our BugBitten team booked this Antwerp port tour, we were expecting a standard harbour loop—instead we got a proper working dock experience narrated by someone who actually knows the place. You bring your own car, minibus, or coach; a local port guide climbs in and steers you through the active shipping lanes, warehouses, and industrial heartbeat of one of Europe's busiest ports. It's two-and-a-half hours of industrial theatre, tailored on the fly depending on what's moving that day. Not a museum, not a postcard tour—just the real, functioning thing.
