Excellent day trip - We had a great time seeing all the sites in both cities Julian was great explaining the history of the many churches, castles, walkways and bridges. Angelica was an excellent driver. Be forewarned there is a fair amount of walking involved and most on cobble stone roads and pathways. Had several washroom breaks and excellent information on what to visit or where to eat when getting free time.

Must be able to do a city walk pace. Not ideal for those that have to go slower when walking - The guide was very nice and informative. We had a little accident in ghent because we couldn't keep up with the speed of walking. Went to sit in a cafe to clean up the wounds while the tour continued and couldn't find the tour at the meeting point to go back to brussels. Had to take an Uber to go back.

You should book now! - Jorge was a great guide!!! We had a blast learning about the history. Our only complaint was that we wished we would’ve spent more time in the towns. It was nice having some time to do our own activities at each destination.

Worth doing but… - I think this tour is an excellent value for the cost and overall I am glad I did it but there were improvements that could be made. Buendía was pretty organized but the tour guide had clearly done the tour too many times and just rapid fire told about the history of the cities. His tour was too fast and impersonal so I didn’t feel like I had time to learn anything. The cities are lovely and you had about an hour and a half after the guided part to wander around on your own which was nice. The bus was comfortable.

Bad service - We couldn't have any experience as we were 7 minutes late and no one called to ask if we lost our way or our train was late or did we find our way. To think of leaving 3 people behind without calling any of these people to me makes it a bad service. And on top of that we called to inform them that we may be late due to traffic and our train being late. We were told they will wait 10min for us but they didn't. We got there and we called and they told us to take train and meet the group at Bruges station knowing very well that we still wouldn't be able to meet them because we still have to buy new tickets from the train station and wait 25min for train to Bruges which according to them was 2hrs ride with the train. If you want to book this trip and u aren't sure you will get there on time,please don't as this will end in disaster, they left without 3 people and told them stories. You won't get your money back so think twice before booking for their services. What's the reason u ask for contact information when booking if they can't contact you for anything?
