Reviews
Highly recommended! What a nice way to walk around Ghent. We walked the tour with Sophia and laughed a lot about the stories and enjoyed beautiful Ghent.
Despite the rain, Sebastien told us very nicely about the city. Not only the interesting history was discussed, but also tips about nice places and where to find the best beer! Interesting stories where humour was not lacking :) Definitely recommended!
Top. Highly recommended to explore Ghent! Top guide Paulina! Must do if you want to learn more about this city in a 2-hour walking tour at a leisurely pace
We got the tour from Bram. Bram was able to convey the history of the city in a very nice way. He involved the group well in what he told and he gave us a lot of great tips about Ghent. All in all, highly recommended!!
