1.00Pretty amateur setup. I didn’t end up finding the bus and missed the tour by minutes. I offered to get myself on the train to pick up with the tour group in Gent or Brugges. The operator did not permit this and I did not get a refund! I would give this tour a miss!
Beautiful Bruges!

5.00We loved Bruges and could have spent more time there. Virginia the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and open to questions. Ghent was nice but we preferred Bruges. Thanks!
Be wary of the guide and the company.

2.00The guide was so hard to understand. She was nice but her accent was so thick she was hard to understand, and she appeared that she was reading from a script. Very monotone. I would just take my earpiece out from time to time because it was so irritating. Also, just charge an additional euro for the earpiece in the price of the tour. That seemed so cheap to collect the euro. My wife was given a Vox without the battery closure, so the battery kept falling out.
We had an amazing...

5.00We had an amazing experience, everything was well organized, and the itinerary was perfectly paced so we could enjoy both cities without feeling rushed. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Sabrina—she truly made the trip exceptional. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor. Her insights into the history and culture of both Bruges and Ghent made the experience so much more meaningful. She also gave excellent recommendations for food, local spots, and photo opportunities. Both cities were absolutely beautiful, and the whole day ran smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belgium, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Sabrina as your guide!

5.00The tour guides were knowledgeable, pleasant and organized. Be prepared to walk. I feel that adding a total of 2 more hours to the trip will be an excellent improvement to the tour. The long walks to the meeting places takes away time from enjoying and admiring these two beautiful cities. In conclusion I highly recommend.
Good times in Brugge and Ghent!

What you'd expect from a big bus, big group tour.

3.00Typical big bus, big group trip. Nice locations. Guides friendly. Long day from Brussels. Vendor needs to upgrade headset/transmitters. They were grossly old and not very sanitary.
Beautifully preserved Medieval buildings in both Buges and Ghent

5.00We really appreciated the 2 hours of free time in Bruges, to shop, and explore. The market sells wonderful food to take away, ready to eat.

A Belgium Must

5.00Blanca and Antonio were great guides through the beautiful cities of Bruges and Ghent. Blanca walked us through Bruges and ensured she gave us many recommendations of places to eat and to buy authentic Belgium cuisine from. She also ensured we had true Bruges chocolate to enjoy. The tour we received from Antonio through Ghent was fun and exciting. He ensured to tell us random facts that made the tour more interesting and gave us all a little laugh. He was open to questions and gave us multiple suggestions for authentic Belgium experiences in Ghent. He went above and beyond with giving us information on must sees in Brussels as well. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone staying Belgium. The chocolate and views were amazing!
