Hamraz was engaging and informative. We did this excursion the first night. It was perfect for us. It gave us a glimpse into the dark and interesting history of Ghent. It was also useful to give us some exposure to the city. It is well worth the time.

Pur guide, Sébastien, was one of the best tour guides we ever had. Easy going, informative, knowledgeable and likable. What more could you ask for. He knew a wealth of information about Ghent. We can not say enough positive comments about him. If you could book him book him. Well worth it.
