My Country-Well situated between France and Holland, the kingdom of Belgium encompasses all the best that Europe has to offer in an area no bigger than Maryland. Within the span of one day you can take a romantic cruise down a canal in Bruges, hunt for diamonds in Antwerp, enjoy waffles and go bird watching on the beach in Knokke, get lost in a castle in Namur, discover antiques at an outdoor market in Ghent, or explore a fine art museum in Brussels. Belgium has retained its old-world charm in the preservation of its ancient buildings and historical traditions.

My Past Guest's Comments

Thanks again for a lovely day in Belgium.  We will be sure to get in touch with you if / when we return. The chocolates got a little smashed though as we couldn’t carry on any bags."  Alyssa Moss, August 2006
 
"We have just arrived home and had a wonderful time in Bruges.  We went on the canal cruise, bought some chocolates, and had a very leisurely lunch on the square including moules, frites, and just enough room for a waffle too!  Many, many thanks once again for giving us a great day out in Belgium.  We are really looking forward to returning for a longer visit.  Many thanks,"  Alan and Cath CANTY, June 2006
 
"Just a note to say thank you again for an AWESOME day in Belgium!!  Not only did we have a wonderful, unforgettable day in Bruges, but you and Stephan also managed to get us to Brussels to spend time seeing the highlights of Brussels and spending time at the Grand Place!  When we returned to the ship, most of our other friends had only managed to either make it to Bruges or to Brussels, but we got to see both!  Thanks for picking us up early at the port and making the most out of our day!  Your country is absolutely beautiful, and you were not only very professional and informative during the tour but also friendly and fun!  Please give our thanks to Stephan also for managing to get us everywhere on time (and safely)! You both have our high recommendations!!

Please feel free to use this note on your website as a recommendation.  Your company is so professional and punctual and was so very patient in answering all our many questions and working with us before our tour.  Best of everything on your continued success!  Warmest regards."  Joe & Victoria Nance, May 13, 2006
