Bruges and Ghent

3.00The guide had to speak in French and English. She prioritized English because they were more numerous ☹️. Also the bus driver arrived late both times. But Bruges is beautiful and must be visited
Red Beer and Boat Cruise

5.00Laura and Helga did a great job. I appreciated Laura's recommendation to try the red (cherry) beer in Ghent. The optional boat canal cruise in Bruges was lovely. We thought the pacing was good. It was time and money well spent.
Well Organized tour

2.00My tour said English on the voucher. I was put on a bus and tour with a bilingual guide who talked English and Spanish. It was quite annoying listening to a language I didn’t know all day. I got such a headache from this Bruge and gent is beautiful though
You must see!

5.00It was an interesting day . The history of Ghent and Brugge was explain by our guide Julianne. It was very busy the day we were there. It was a large bus tour which I am usually not in favor of, but given the distance cover was efficient. He only suggestion I would have is to provide more practical info toilettes, directions etc you truly want to experience Brugge.

5.00The two cities were very fun to explore. The guide was excellent and showed us all the highlights with the history of the cities. We had plenty of free time to shop and eat the best waffles. Definitely a must see!
Great way to familiarize...

5.00Great way to familiarize yourself with the sights of Ghent and Bruges. You see a lot of both cities with this tour. We opted for the boat ride in Bruges and enjoyed seeing the sights of the city in a different way. Plan to bring cash if you’re opting to take the boat tour - it makes it easier for your guide.
Recommend!

5.00It was an enjoyable and well organisd experience. Before the tour, I had several questions and received honest, clear responses without any delaywhich built trust, The service was excellent, and the price compared to the quality was very good. But one thing if you have difficulty with walking this tour involves some walking!

2.00Not worth for the price, nice guide but the tour was packed and was given in English and French. Very confusing very rushed. Really just a ride to both cities.
It was nice....

4.00Josefine (Josephine?) was very sweet, knowledgeable, and impressively fluent in multiple languages. Bruges was definitely the highlight — charming, picturesque, and full of great spots, Christmas markets, and local treats. Ghent, on the other hand, felt a bit underwhelming and didn’t quite live up to the hype. One suggestion for the tour company: please avoid mixing multiple languages in a single tour. It really breaks the flow, makes it harder to stay engaged, and drags out the timing — especially rough on a cold and rainy day. Thankfully, our guide was flexible and switched fully to English midway once it was clear most guests were comfortable with it. Overall, a pleasant experience with a lovely guide, but Bruges is the real standout.
