Belgium Like Most Will Never See It.
We design intimate, all-inclusive days for those who travel to truly experience, not just visit. Castles above the Meuse, Trappist beer in the abbey's own town, the Last Post at the Menin Gate, and a guide who knows the story behind each one.
PRIVATE DAYS IN BELGIUM
One Perfect Day in Belgium
You have one or two days for Belgium. I make sure you spend them on the Belgium most visitors never see, without touching a single piece of logistics.
Pickup at your door, anywhere in Belgium. Drop-off at the same spot, or a different one.
A route built for your party alone: quiet abbeys, a private castle, local breweries, the battlefields of Ypres, ...
€1,950 all-in for up to 4 guests. Each extra guest €450, up to 8.
Every day comes with €1,050 in extras: A Belgian's Guide to Belgium, your other days planned, two tastings on the road, and your photos after.
→ See everything that comes with your day
Taking two or three days? Same rate per day, one plan across all of them.
One promise. If this was not the best day of your Belgium trip, tell your guide at drop-off and the day is free.
One private party per booking. A written quote holds your date for 7 days.
The Belgium Most Visitors Never Find
Since launching in 2023, our journey has been fueled by a deep, lifelong love for exploration and the magic of travel. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why every day is private: your party only, never merged with another group. Because the day is yours alone, there is time to stop where it matters: coffee across the river from Walzin, a Trappist tasting, a quiet street ten minutes from the crowds.
Your party only, up to eight guests. Every route is chosen not for convenience, but for character. The hidden valleys, the quiet monasteries, the viewpoints locals keep to themselves. This is the Belgium most day trips drive past.

Pickup anywhere in Belgium, included in the price.
We collect you where you are staying, whether that is a hotel in Brussels or Antwerp, an apartment in Ghent, a B&B in Bruges or a village nobody outside Belgium has heard of. No zone fees, no meeting point, no train to catch before the day has started.
Drop-off works the same way. If you are changing cities that night or flying out of Brussels Airport, the day ends at that address instead of where it began.
Anywhere in Belgium · no surcharge, no radius
Door to door · your address in the morning, any address at night
Time set in advance · your pickup time follows the distance, confirmed before the day
Traveler Stories
"From the very beginning, conversation with Joris about Belgium, travel, and life felt completely natural. Well before the end of the day, it felt as though we were old friends taking a mini road trip and adventuring through the countryside together."
Stephanie & Joe Magraw, Berkeley, California, TripAdvisor, July 2026
"What really sets Joris apart is how personal he makes everything feel. It never felt like we were being shuffled from one stop to another. It felt like spending the day with a local friend who genuinely wanted to show us the best of his country."
Patrick Lynch, Trustpilot, October 2026
"Joris took the time to set up an itinerary that really captured both my husband’s interest of history and beer! I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal and more local experience."
Ruth Reyna, Trustpilot, September 2026

About
Your guide
I'm Joris, founder of Belgium's Wanderlust. After 3 years guiding travelers across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, I built Belgium's Wanderlust around a simple idea: one party at a time, private access, and the kind of stops most visitors never find on their own.
I speak English, Dutch and Spanish. Every itinerary is one I'd take my own family on.
