Your time at leisure<br />
Belgium is a compact country, with many of its main attractions<br />
situated in close proximity. One of the most appealing things<br />
about a Belgium tour is the ease with which groups can<br />
hop between Bruges, Ghent, Ypres and Brussels. Wherever<br />
you choose to base your group, we will help you create an<br />
itinerary that will show your group the best of Belgium.<br />
• Admire the sights of Ghent and Bruges<br />
aboard a guided canal cruise<br />
• For thrills and spills, head to the Bobbejaanland<br />
Theme Park in Lichtaart<br />
• Learn about Ypres’ turbulent history during the First<br />
World War at the In Flanders Fields Museum<br />

recommend the accommodation centres to match your<br />
location preference, facility requirements and budget.<br />
