5.00Mandy was a fantastic tour guide. We took the tour with our five and eight-year-old sons and she put together a tour bingo activity for them that they loved. She was very knowledgeable and kind. We definitely recommend this tour.

5.00If you want a nice, spontaneous and anything but boring guide in Ghent with a juicy Ghent accent, you should definitely call on Charlie Tours. They are great. Professional, looking for a solution even when they are full, very friendly... in short, fun, fun and light-hearted! Thx for the nice tour Louis. Oh yes, and read the FAQs on their site. Then you immediately get into the atmosphere of the kind of guides they are 🤣. Simply wonderful!

5.00Our guide, Debi, was informative and delightful. It was raining so she made every effort to get us out of the rain when possible but still make it a great experience. Loved all of the sites and especially the chocolatier!

5.00The perfect activity for a family party! We had a tailor-made tour for a family group of all ages with something for everyone. Lots of new information, even though half of the group consisted of Ghent residents. Explanations were conveyed in a super fun and relaxed way. We will definitely come back!
