Ghent Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone
Overview

Mobile ticket
Welcome to the Belgian City of Ghent! Just take a look at how old, beautiful, and surprisingly small Ghent is. It once rivaled Paris, so why didn't it become one of the European capitals? Discover the answer on a captivating stroll through the city with audioguide on your smartphone.
We'll meander through narrow streets, refresh ourselves along the quays, and admire the churches and towers. I'll show you how to distinguish ancient buildings from fakes, as Ghent has quite a few of them. To avoid turning our excursion into a history lesson, I'll share city legends and stories with you. We'll delve into topics like Belgians, their penchant for folk rebellion, chocolate and fries, and their incredible ability to speak three languages. And, of course, I can't leave out Belgian beer!

Very pleasant way to walk...

5.00Very pleasant way to walk the city at my own pace with interesting tidbits and could walk in my own order.
As always perfect

5.00This is not the first time we have consulted this app and we are pleased. Group guides are not for introverts and they do not allow you to enjoy the tour at your own pace. with the audio guide we were able to go through every location, enter museums and cathedrals, stop for a break and take beautiful photos. and we also learned many cool stories that we would definitely not have heard if we were walking alone. The audio guide tells everything in a simple manner, makes appropriate jokes and does not turn the walk into a lecture. I advise and will take more!
Visit in French to recommend.

5.00Interesting visit, from the historical and cultural point of view, and "statistical" that also takes us outside the center of Ghent.
Lovely tour of Ghent

5.00We met our guide near St Michael’s Bridge, close to the hostel. Our guide was delightful, engaging, and knew his city and its history well. He shared many entertaining stories about the city and its evolution from a market square to the city that it is today. Our guide wore a nooses around his neck, symbolic of the strong spirit and pride of Ghent. USA Sisters

2.00We were able to take the 2. Do not activate person. It was also very difficult to get in. The 3-D navigation was not clear.

5.00We downloaded the app and got prompt assistance by email when requested. The guide itself was very interesting and informative. Using our mobile phones we could track our route and identify locations from the photos included. We soon got the hang of it. It was also possible to listen to it again later on.
Comfortable city tour

5.00The audio guide for Ghent was a perfect way to explore the city! It led me through the city’s historic center, pointing out places like the castle, Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, and the Graslei. The guide was very well-organized, with just the right amount of detail. I loved being able to wander through the city at my own pace and learn more about its history without feeling rushed. If you’re planning to explore Ghent, I highly recommend using an audio guide.
Interesting and informative guided city tour at your own pace and without deadline pressure. Great thing. Gladly more of it!
