Overview

Belgium holidays by Cox & Kings

Belgium might be a small country, but it has played an important part in the history of Europe. For many centuries it has been the battleground for major European powers, and is today home to the headquarters of the EU and Nato.

In Brussels, the capital city, both French and Dutch are the official languages, but generally the country is split between the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the largely French-speaking Wallonia region in the south. The north is flat but studded with historical cities which are well connected by train and close together. Attractions in the south are more rural with bucolic villages, caves and castles.

"The terracotta army was outstanding . All the main sights – the Great Wall, panda reservation, the Three Gorges and Guilin were up to expectations.
Mr Simon Moffat"

"Driving up, down and through sand dunes to our tented overnight stay, with sand spraying in every direction. A never before experience and one which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Mrs Gwyneth Wood"

"The scenery was amazing throughout the tour, but the two main sights for us were St. Georges cruciform rock church and the Blue Nile falls. Both truly amazing.
Mr David Eyres"

"Go before the world realises what a amazing places it is!!
Ms Irene Gregory"

"I am writing to thank you for organising our excellent holiday in Morocco. All the accommodation was superb and our transfers went smoothly.
Mrs Welford"

"We have recently returned from our honeymoon in Japan and just wanted to let you know what an absolutely fantastic time we had! Our guide was fantastic, the accommodation in Tokyo and Kyoto was first class and the ryokan on Miyamira Island was an amazing experience. The trip was certainly the holiday of a lifetime, which was perfect as it was our honeymoon.
Mr & Mrs Turner"

"Warsaw and Krackow were fantastic and nothing like expected. Auswitz ofcouse was a completely different experience but is something everyone should see.
Mr Terence Grace"

"We feel very privileged to have gone on such a special journey and we cannot thank you enough for the care and attention you took in selecting our itinerary.
Mr Gait"

"Seeing Petra for real was wonderful, as was the Wadi Rum driving experience.
Mrs Elspeth Dick"

"Our holiday was fantastic, we enjoyed every minute of it. The hotels and guides were very good, Park Plaza and Kathy in Beijing particularly so. And BA upgraded us to Club World for return flight so we felt truly spoilt. Thanks for all your help - we are every impressed with Cox & Kings and would unhesitatingly recommend you.
Mr Cosgrave"

"For me, the most inspirational part of my holiday was the hot air balloon flight over Bagan - it was brilliant and I would encourage everyone to book this. Balloons over Bagan provided excellent service and the whole experience is one I will never forget.
Ms Karen Hendy"

"The most inspirational moment was the first view of Registan Square in Samakand, which was the primary reason for our Uzbek trip and the overwhelming genuine friendliness of the Uzbek people.
Mr John Bourne"

"This holiday was full of inspirational moments but the visits to Jerash and Petra have to be two of the top experiences one can have anywhere in the world!
Mrs Sheila Musiker"

"I have nothing but praise for this tour. I was travelling with my elderly mother and we both had the most fantastic time. The group gelled very well and we all had similar interests. Our guide (Sami) was superb. His knowledge of the subject was boundless. The coach drivers were both superb especially Hassan who managed to negotiate the roads in an exemplary manner.
Ms. Christie"
