Mechelen Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

A very nice experience to get to know MECHELEN in a different way. Been to beautiful places. And the women's team is won against the men's team!! It's great.

Wonderfully planned trip. Enjoyed every nook and corner of the route with in depth descriptions and little trivias here and there. Don't miss, if you're in Mechelen for a day.

This self guided tour was a really fun way to explore the beautiful city of Mechelen. The information was quite interesting, and the directions were clear and easy to follow.

Lots of fun! Another way to discover a city while having fun. A essayer absolument. This is a first experience that will certainly be followed by others. Part of family fun while cultivating.

Simon provided us with an excellent tour of a Belgian town that deserves to be better known. He provided us with a well-crafted overview of the history of Mechelen in a most accessible manner, and we came away with a better sense of the importance of this place, not only in Flanders, but within the broader sweep of European history. I would highly recommend it for those who’d like to get off of the beaten path and see some amazing architecture than spans the mediaeval to the post-war periods. It was very much appreciated.

Very nice way to discover the city and walk around. Especially taking the photos made it interactive Highly recommended

The Alchemist escape tour is a fun way to explore Mechelen and at the same time learn something about the city. The tour takes you past the most beautiful places in the city where you have to solve various riddles based on clues on and around the buildings. We saw some reviews that said the riddles were wrong, but when we did the tour, we noticed that these things were already updated in the app. So nice to see that the tour and app are maintained. Furthermore, the app and the card work smoothly and intuitively.

It was a very nice experience, besides enjoying the chocolate, we also learned a lot more about Mechelen.There were only two of us and so we received plenty of attention from our supervisor.

Our tour guide Sophie was able to talk beautifully about her city and knew how to respond to us Dutch people in a fun way. We had a great time.

Had fun team building. Questions were not too difficult, not too easy, and as a Malinois I still discovered new places.

Highly recommended this culinary tour of beautiful Mechelen. Two of our favorites (good food/drink and culture) melted together beautifully in this walk of almost three hours. You get to places you probably would not have found on your own and are surprised with a delicious snack and/or drink in due time. In addition, Sophie is a very nice lady who knows her stuff. She agreed with us in advance whether we preferred smaller bites (so more stops) or the larger bites. We chose the small bites and could not say porridge after the tour :). I won't give away more, go experience it for yourself!

This was my first experience with an audio guide tour. I normally do free walking tours when I travel but the city I just went to does not have one so I downloaded this one. This thing was way better than I expected. Like now I just want to do this guy's tours all over! In the very beginning, I got a little turned around, but it was because I wasn't paying attention to the direction cues. Once I got the hang of it, it was wonderful. He goes just enough into history without it being boring, the way he explains things made me want to research and go deeper on my own time.

Nice game. Was well put together. Learned a lot about Mechelen. Not too long and not too short. Top. Definitely recommended. Also nice if you can play with a few groups against each other

Nice trip. All the beautiful sights occur. Nice that you can do it at your own pace. Nice variety of assignments! Definitely recommended!

We received the chocolate tour as a gift from our children and had a very nice time! Sophie is a top guide and knows what she is talking about! The chocolate was very tasty. Highly recommended!

hotel the Patershof Beautiful church, renovated as a hotel. Really worth seeing the different rooms with the beautiful vaults and dazzling glass windows, super! Only downside was the breakfast, this could be much better as well as the service
