Nice tour of Ghent

4.00Nice tour. We are now looking in every city if we can do a Viator Tour. The children always enjoy solving the puzzles and it is very entertaining. Unfortunately, it is difficult to start the app at the beginning. Since we book the tour through Viator and play it through the app World City Trail. It's always a bit difficult with the booking number. But otherwise, if it works, it's great.
