The Dark Side of Gent was a great tour of the city outlining the history of murder, torture, tragedy, and overall villainy - usually perpetrated by whoever was in charge at the time. Kenny was a fantastic guide, funny, yet genuine, with almost as morbid a sense of humor as mine. Strongly recommend this tour!

Great tour of the darker side of Ghent. Or tour guide kept it interesting while also slowing the best parts of the city.

Was not anything juicy or dark. Only thing dark was the light. Good overall history tour, but each guide decides what to talk about so does not live up to the title.

About 1:45 walk all over the city. Kenny was a local that was knowledgeable, funny and helpful. Interesting tour of medieval history (the less flattering part). Fun for all - my kids enjoyed it too.
