Overview

We love Mechelen and love to share it with the world. Still a hidden gem, it is very accessible from both Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. It is quieter than the bigger cities, but has more charm in our opinion :)

Our tours are small groups only. For safety, but also because we like to know the people we guide.

As we visit local, independent stores and eateries that were started by young entrepreneurs, you also support them! This is our aim too - to promote Mechelen small businesses.

We hope that you will enjoy touring with us :)
