Away from the typical tourist routes, these enchanting towns give you a chance to really immerse yourself in history and legend as you enjoy a private guided tour to three nearby locations: Leuven, Mechelen and Lier.

A private tour of these historical Flemish towns is a pleasant excursion that everyone who participates also enjoys. The tour begins with a visit to the town of Leuven and its magnificent Town Hall, an elaborate Gothic structure that dominates the Grote Market. We'll go and see the Church of St. Peter during our private tour, and view the glorious religious artworks within its Treasury. We'll also spend some time in the Museum Vander Kelen-Martens, and then make our way to the Grand Buiganage , Leuven's well-preserved historical district.

Next stop is picturesque Mechelen, where we'll take a guided walking tour to see fairy tale palaces and intriguing public buildings. In the heart of Mechelen's Old City you will observe more elaborate old Flemish architecture at the St. Romboutskathedraal with its impressive 318' tower. Before we finish the Mechelen part of our guided tour to historical Flemish towns we will also visit the Tongerlo Abbey and the de Witt Royal Tapestry Manufactory.

Lier is the final town on the itinerary for your private tour of historical Flemish towns. This intriguing walled village boasts magnificent construction, most notably its spectacular Town Hall adjoining a 14th century Gothic medieval siege tower with four corner turrets. You'll also be amazed by the nearby "Pepperpot" - an octagonal bell tower at St. Gummaruschurch.

The day winds to a close and your private tour of old Flemish towns comes to an end as we return to Brussels, full of pleasant memories and unforgettable experiences.
