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 there are so many eateries and restaurants, we combine sightseeing with a nice meal, so you get to feel like a local.
We hope that you will enjoy touring with us.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet all guests at the entrance of the city hall. This cannot be missed as it is the most magnificent building on the square.
The tour finishes with a nice light meal/snack in the centre of town.
Itinerary

(Pass by)
Our walking tour with lunch or dinner (depending on the time of your tour) in Mechelen starts on a very important square. After a short introduction and brief with what you can expect, we start our journey. This tour combines sightseeing and some good food and gives you a good insight in what Mechelen is all about and where the residents love to hang out. At all attractions or interesting areas that we visit, we make stops for stories and photos. Grote Markt or Main Square is an area that has a lot of history in and around it. Thanks to Margaret of Austria, Mechelen played an important role. Are you ready to get started?
