Bringing Ghent to life through history

5.00Nice trip, you came to places you probably wouldn't have gone yourself. Nice guide, who could tell the history of the city in an interesting way, bringing the places, buildings and water to life
Tim is very nice but...

3.00Tim is very nice but has considerable momentum during the bike ride. Someone in the group had fallen, but he didn't realize it. Even at busy intersections, there was no eye for those who cycled behind. There's almost no time to take pictures. The information he tells you is very superficial and you can also find it with a round of Google. A little more depth or separate facts makes the story and the bike ride more fun and engaging.
Highly recommended!

5.00Beautiful bike ride and discovered places in Ghent that we would not otherwise have seen. Tim knew a lot about the locations visited!
With a nice group of 17 people and a pleasant narrator/accompanist we saw the other Ghent.

Bike tour to some less-traveled places in Ghent

5.00Tim was our host for the bike tour and he was very friendly and nice. He told us all about the places that we were visiting. It's a relatively easy ride as Ghent is mostly flat. Unfortunately, it was a little drizzly on the day we took the tour. Definitely try to do it on a nice day, if you can. We stopped partway through to have a beer at the Dok brewery which was nice. One thing to note: this tour truly did go to some less-famous spots in the city. It's definitely more about the undiscovered Ghent. We did not go near the famous, historic center with the castle, old buildings, towers, canal, etc. We were not even aware those places were in the city (and close to our hotel) until the day after the bike tour when we walked around more. If you want to see that kind of stuff, you should likely do a different tour.
Great guide, relaxing ride

5.00Tim was fabulous! Very knowledgeable, easy going, humorous, and patient. I am not very athletic and the ride was very easy, mostly flat. Saw things we never would have seen on our own.
Wonderful trip through Ghent

5.00Nice bike ride, Tim told with love and pleasure about the beautiful city of Ghent. The trip gave us a nice alternative view of the city and took us to places we would not have been on foot.
Tim was great!

4.00We enjoyed the bike tour with Tim. He took us all around Ghent and not just through old town. I appreciated the stopping place where we got a pastry and good beer. Plus he recommended must do’s for after the tour that did not disappoint.
