Belgium's Wanderlust

Private, all-inclusive day tours across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, fully custom on request. Founded and led by Joris Desplenter; days are guided by Joris or one of his hand-picked Belgian guides. One private party per booking, maximum 8 guests. Tours run year-round on request; May through October is peak season.

The offer: One Perfect Day in Belgium

One private, all-in day built around the guest's party: door-to-door pickup anywhere in Belgium, a custom route, lunch at a personally chosen venue, tickets, snacks and drinks included. Before travel, guests receive their day in writing: route, story, and rain plan. After the day: their photos and a designed one-pager of their route. Guests also get help planning the rest of their Belgium stay, including restaurant reservations.

Price: 1,950 EUR all-in per party of up to 4 guests. Each extra guest 450 EUR, up to a maximum of 8. No per-person pricing. Multi-day trips are priced at the same day rate per day.
Guarantee: if the day was not the best day of the guest's Belgium trip, they tell their guide at drop-off and the day is free (direct bookings).
A written quote holds the requested date for 7 days.
