5.00Yves was exceptional! We spent the entire day on a walking tour of Ghent and Brugge. His enthusiasm for the culture and surroundings was infectious. Typical tours leave you bored and disinterested, but Yves kept us engaged the entire time hanging on his every story. We drank amazing beer, ate delicious waffles, and learned all about the Belgium history and culture. We travel often and Yves was by far the BEST, most knowledgeable and passionate tour guide we have ever had
