Grand tour of Belgium & Luxembourg

Take a 30-minute train ride to Ghent and meet your guide for a three-hour tour of the historic district. Following this, settle in for a private hour-long canal cruise and enjoy a drink and light snacks while seeing the city from a different perspective. You’ll have the afternoon free to continue exploring Ghent or return to Bruges to relax.

This morning, join a private guide for a bicycle tour to the town of Damme along one of the canals that Flanders is known for. The adventurous can continue along to the seaside town of Knokke-Heist and the Zwin Natuur Park to enjoy the long wild stretch of beach and abundant birdlife in the surrounding marshlands. The tour can last three to five hours.

A private driver will pick you up for the hour-long trip to Brussels. Drop your bags off at the hotel and begin a four-hour tour of the highlights of the historic capital, including the Place de la Bourse, the Royal Galleries and the Grand Place, one of Europe’s most scenic squares. You’ll have the afternoon at leisure to explore further.

Take the comfortable and timely local train an hour to Antwerp and meet with a local guide who will bring the city alive with a guided tour interspersed with tastings of some of Belgium’s best-known treats. Walk through Grote Markt’s 16th-century square while stopping to enjoy frites, waffles, cheeses and chocolate. After the tour, return to Brussels by train.

A day at leisure in Brussels will give you time to explore. You can visit any of the city’s art collections found around the Royal Palace, the impressive Military History Museum, Autoworld or the European district, home to the EU headquarters. We’ll provide all the information that you need to make the most of your day.

Your private driver will take you one hour east into the French-speaking region of Wallonia and its capital, Liège. Meet your local guide at your hotel for a three-hour tour that focuses on the historic district. In the afternoon, explore the small side streets on your own and perhaps taste peket, a local fresh-fruit-mixed spirit.

Heading south from Liège to Bastogne, best known as the site of the Battle of the Bulge. Here you’ll visit the Bastogne War Museum, which examines World War II history, and the Memorial du Mardasson, dedicated to American soldiers who died during the battle. After, continue by vehicle for an hour to Luxembourg City, where you’ll check in to your hotel.

Often overlooked, Luxembourg City has a compelling history and a leisurely atmosphere. Take a private guided three-hour tour to learn about its storied past and visit the historic district, the Casemates du Bock and the green valley along the Alzette River. Afterwards, you can shop in the boutique stores of the Lower Town, visit museums or enjoy a drink along the Place d’Armes.

This morning you’ll check out of your hotel and be transferred by private driver to the airport in time for your onward flight.
