Discover Mechelen, Belgium’s hidden medieval gem, on a three-hour walking tour through its historic streets, secret courtyards, and UNESCO-protected sites. Starting at Saint Rumbold’s Cathedral, see its unfinished tower, once intended as the world’s tallest. Explore Margaret of Austria’s Renaissance legacy, the tranquil Begijnhofs, and the restored Rik Wouters Garden. Visit Kazerne Dossin, a WWII memorial, and end at De Zalm, an ornate guild house. Highlights include 49-bell carillon concerts, hidden religious refuges, Gouden Carolus beer from a 14th-century brewery, and quirky sites like the Devil’s House and the Adam and Eve House. Mechelen blends rich history, vibrant design, and quiet charm—offering more protected monuments than Bruges, but far fewer tourists.

A Pub Trail is a scavenger hunt through Mechelen, combined with short pub games in cafés that you choose yourselves. For friends, colleagues and families who want to explore the city without feeling like tourists. You walk together through the city, complete challenges, and play games in the cafés. The group stays together, and the player with the most points wins a prize. Pub Trail Mechelen is an activity, not a traditional pub crawl. You choose the cafés yourselves: no fixed bars, no set routes. This gives you the freedom to choose the cafés you want to visit. Pub Trail Mechelen is an active and playful experience, much more fun than a standard walking tour.

Mechelen - with all of the splendour of Brussels, but much more quiet - is often forgotten by travellers as they hastily speed through Belgium. Give yourself the much-earned rest, and let our guide lead you through the magnificent palaces and squares where once the main court of the Netherlands was seated. With a lot of nice taverns, cosy restaurants and monumental medieval and renaissance buildings, Mechelen truly is a gem to behold! Learn about the struggles between the Burgundian Dukes and the people of Mechelen! Or how the people here deal with the power of Brussels and Antwerp! Hear how tall the tallest cathedral tower of Belgium was supposed to be! And most of all: show all of your friends who've been to Belgium that they were wrong to skip Mechelen.

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. Also, there are a lot of chocolate secrets!! We like to surprise you both with stories and chocolate tasters! Examples are hot choc, pralines, handmade chocolate, macaroons, chocolate cookies, pain au chocolat, cakes and so on. Please note that no stops are made except for taster and that locations vary (this depend on the day and time of your visit and number of people). You can ask your guide though if you want to stop for a photo. Our tours are small groups only. For safety, but also because we like to know the people we guide. We hope that you will enjoy touring with us.
