What To Expect
St Michael s Church
St. Michael’s Church (Sint-Michielskerk) is a beautiful and historic church located in Sint-Michielsplein, Ghent, Belgium. This stunning Gothic church is one of the city's most significant landmarks, known for its striking architecture and historical importance. The church was originally built in the 15th century, and its construction was completed over several decades, making it a remarkable example of Flemish Gothic style.
The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde
The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde (Begijnhof Ten Wijngaarde) is one of Bruges' most tranquil and historic sites, offering a glimpse into the city’s past and its religious heritage. Established in the 13th century, it was home to a community of Beguines, women who lived a semi-religious life without taking formal vows. These women were typically unmarried or widowed and devoted themselves to prayer, charitable work, and living in communal harmony.

5.00Picked up by a clean, professional driver from the hotel. The vehicle was new & clean. The driver spoke English and spoke to us to share areas of Brussels as we went to Brugge. The tour guide met us in Brugge and we did a walking tour. It was fabulous! We had lunch, did a little more touring in Brugge, then to Gent which was also an interesting city to learn about. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see & learn about these areas in a day.
Fabulous Day in Old Cities.

4.00We were dropped off at the perimeter of the old city. Walking these cities was the best way to see the sights. We saw old canals, bridges, a monastery, churches, the cathedral, town hall and other beautiful old buildings. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Bruges was our favorite city. The cobbled streets and old stories and fables were very interesting and captivating.

5.00we enjoyed our day very much. Highly recommend. Our tour guide was VERY knowledgable and was very happy to go at our pace. His driver was about 30 mins late for pick up. Guide was not happy about this either. Was fine with adding the time on at the end of the day to make up for it :)
Tour was overall very good although the tour guide’s English was somewhat of an obstacle

4.00Old architecture in Bruce. This review is way too long and Is mandatory to complete. My impression is that the length of comments should not be required
Don’t do it!

1.00This was a horrific experience and I would not recommend. It was horrible. Our guide did not speak clear English. We asked to do several things and he ignored all requests. Then he insisted on eating lunch with us and stuck me with paying for his lunch and never acknowledged it or thanked me. He definitely ruined Bruges and Ghent for us. What a waste of money.
Private highlights of Ghent and Bruge, all day

5.00This was a great day trip from our Brussels bnb for the family (including 77year old and a 7year old). The weather was spotty so our guide Dirk flipped the itinerary and we wound up missing all of the rain that way (great move!). We hit the highlights of the two medieval cities. A fair amount of walking is required for these places, which we were used to.
Bad tour company that doesn't operate in good faith

1.00Viator rebooked us for this tour company after our initial tour company canceled at the last minute. We were thankful that this company filled in, but unfortunately, it was not a good tour. The first issue occurred when we were messaged by our tour guide in the morning that he was coming to pick us up in his "Comfort car." We spent hundreds more on a "luxury car," and the tour operator was unwilling to offer a refund for the price difference. They offered us 150 Euro back or a free lunch. The price difference is more than double what they offered. They made the excuse of commission costs, last minute booking, yadda yadda. They were unwilling to make it right. After that debacle, we were uncertain whether we even wanted to take the tour because it was already off on the wrong foot. But, since we were left high and dry, we decided to take a chance. Next, our tour operator shows up. He tried his best, but he didn't know the country well. He only lived there for five years and did tours as a side hustle on the weekends. NOT GOOD. I would expect an expert tour guide who knows the country well and can speak clear English for the amount we paid. After that, the tour itself was sub-par. We waited a long time for the guide to find parking, had to pay for items ourselves, were rushed along, and ultimately didn't enjoy the country as we would have liked. Be aware of this company and what you pay for. They're out to get the most money out of you and not provide the service you paid for.
