An often-overlooked holiday destination, Belgium shines thanks to its combination of medieval city cores, 17th-century grandeur and monk-brewed ale. Our specialists have explored from the sandy shores of the North Sea to the battlefields outside Bastogne in the south, and can craft a trip that lets you experience the aspects of Belgium that capture your interest.
If you want to delve into 20th-century history, we can help you explore Flanders Fields or follow in Patton’s footsteps at the Battle of the Bulge near Bastogne. For a focus on food, you could sample traditional Belgium dishes like moules-frites on a walking tour of Antwerp or enjoy a guided tasting of local beers in Brussels. We can also arrange for you to cruise through the canals of Bruges, see traditional shrimp fishermen ride their horses into the surf in Oostduinkerke, or enjoy the quiet pleasures of the countryside with a cycle ride through Zwin Nature Reserve.
