Would highly recommend to others ! - At the end of Jan 2026, my friends and I joined a day tour to Bruges and Ghent, and it was such a wonderful experience for us. Our guide, Peter, was truly exceptional — he was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient, always making sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable. His knowledge of the history and culture of both cities was impressive, and he shared it in such an engaging and humorous way. His sense of humour added so much joy to the day — we were learning and laughing at the same time. Exploring the beautiful historical sites of Bruges and Ghent felt seamless and also well-paced, making it perfect for travellers like us who had limited time. We would highly recommend this tour — and especially Peter — to anyone looking for a stress-free and enriching way to explore these stunning Belgian cities !

A day full of adventure in Belgium! - My wife and I are visiting Belgium for the first time and booked a tour to see Brudges and Ghent. We were paired with an excellent tour guide Peter who was patient and full of energy the whole day. It was a very cold day and yet he was able to hold the mic all day to teach us about the history and culture of Brudges and Ghent. I would definitely recommend this tour to many others whose visiting Brussels for the first time.

Fabulous Bruges and Ghent Tour - Our tour guide Blanca was excellent. She was knowledgeable, funny, caring and great with kids. She was undaunted by the snow storm in Ghent, carried on with the tour and even offered her umbrella to a couple that didn’t have one. Her passion and love for what she does definitely shows. We loved touring these beautiful places with her.

Great places to visit and a must when in Belgium - The guide, Angie, was very acknowledgeable on her topics, with deliverance through her sweet, calm and charming personality. Would have been better if we could spend at least three hours personal free time at Brugge for proper sit down lunch, chocolate shopping and exploring the last half part of the town and especially the harbour. Ghent was great as well with site of interests more compact, the drop off and pick up point next to them made a big difference with the two and the half hours allocated including free time. Could have started the travel on time to gain at least half to one hour free time for Brugge. Overalls, still highly recommended travel package by this tour operator.

Fantastic - All the places were incredible, specially with Antonio telling us not only history but also fun and curious facts. Not even the rain made him lose his positive attitude. He also always tried to make sure to gives us lots of recs for all tastes. Claudio, our driver was very pleasant and drove us safely for which I’m glad.

Nice group of 28, not too... - Nice group of 28, not too big a group. Bruges is everyone’s choice over Ghent if you choose both cities in a 1-day tour. Bus had to park about 15 minutes away from your intended tour spots in both cities.
