Hi,
I am Frank Mortelmans.
After a full management career, starting in the health sector, then at a burger resto chain, next in fashion retail as marketing director to land the last 17 years as operations director at GfK, a global player in consumer market research, it became time for my passion.
During my career, I have been lucky enough to visit many places. And so I used the little free time I had to immerse myself in history, art, culture of the places I was staying in. But I also tried to experience the specific spirit of those cities. Thus, I had the chance to get to know cities like Jakarta, Singapore, Vienna, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Nuernberg, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Split, Milan, Florence, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, .... and many smaller but particularly beautiful Croatian and Italian cities.
I want to share the experience, my enthusiasm and my passion for these many beautiful places as much as possible.
In the past two years, I have therefore taken courses in city guide and tour guide at CVO Vitant in Antwerp. I also followed the Cathedral Antwerp course at Topa (Toerisme Pastoraal Antwerpen).
I am now really looking forward to start the journey together.
Frank
What do I offer?
Flexibility all the way!
As indicated on this site, I have programmes ready for several cities.
You contact me, I listen to your expectations, available time, budget, etc. Together we then come up with a concrete elaboration of a city walk, a city experience, a full-day trip or a multi-day trip. I usually opt to do a city on foot. But in Antwerp, Copenhagen or Middelburg, you can also do it by bike. In Vienna, we get around via public transport. The U-bahn takes us from one side of the city to the other in no time.
On this site you can find out about some guided tours in Antwerp, Vienna, Copenhagen, Middelburg but also a road trip in Morocco. This road trip was elaborated by my son Mathias and his partner Melissa. Together with them, I take care of part of the guiding and organisation. This road trip in southern Morocco is organised in spring (April - mid-June) and in autumn (mid-September - mid-November). The summer months themselves are too hot for many travellers. During the road trip, we will trek through a beautiful stretch of nature, from secret valley to desert and through the Atlas Mountains.
Cost:
For guided walks in Flanders and Middelburg:
- groups smaller than 10 people:
€ 12 pp for 2 hours; € 15 pp for 2.5 hours and € 17.5 pp for 3 hours
- groups of 10 people or more:
€ 110 for 2 hours; € 130 for 2.5 hours and € 150 for 3 hours
For day trips, for 3-day and 4-day city trips, together we tailor a budget , tailored to the program with or without additional options such as attending an opera, ballet, musical or concert, a specific location for dinner, etc.... .
​
Regarding ‘the Moroccan trail’ : budget and itinerary can be found at www.themoroccantrail.be. Beyond the travel dates on the site, we can also offer specific travel dates according to your possibilities, both for very small parties (from 2 people upwards) and for larger groups.
How to reach me. See contact details at the bottom.
See you soon,
Frank
