Gent is a beautiful place & it’s especially nice to see from the canal. The guide had to speak in 3 language's the entire time. It’s a must do excursion!!!

The tour was short and sweet. The live commentator is good. Since we just went to Bruges, thus the tour felt a little flat but efficient.

This was the first thing we did after getting to Ghent. It was a great way to start our few days of staying in the city and helped us get our bearings! Our boat captain was fantastic!
