A great way to travel to these destinations. - Despite the torrential rain in Ghent, the trip was great. The tour had two guides. One for Spanish and one for English. Our guide was very informative and gave us plenty of time at both towns. He made sure we saw all the important places. We had a quick 15 minute stop at the Atomium for photos and kept driving to Antwerp. Antwerp was beautiful. We had plenty of time to have lunch and to wander the streets. Unfortunately, we were caught in a storm in Bruges just after we arrived. It was miserable walking around in such heavy rain. I managed to see most of the sights using my coat and umbrella. However, I was disappointed that the famous Altar piece was not available because they were using the church for a concert. (Sorry Ghent photos have disappeared.)

Enjoyable day trip with excellent guides - We had a great time visiting the Atomium, Antwerp and Ghent with Diego and Eduardo. Our guides were friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the three stops and took care to ensure our comfort during the trip (e.g., they would find shaded spots to gather when they had to describe the history of a particular place, they provided recommendations for what we could do after the end of our trip). We would definitely recommend this trip to others.

The Ghent/Brugge Trip is WORTH the experience! - The Ghent/Brugge trip is worth the experience! Keolis bus tours have excellent tour guides. Nico who was my tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and full of upbeat energy speaking in both English and French. I encourage everyone to see the beauty and rich history of these two cities. It's worth the investment.

Outstanding day trip with plenty of time to see both - Amazing day trip that allows you to see a LOT of stuff in a short period of time. This tour had super easy pickup from Grand Place and allowed us to see the major parts of Antwerp and Ghent without the stress of travel, parking, and knowing where to go. We didn’t feel rushed and had a couple hours in each to east and explore on our own. Our guide was knowledgeable and extremely good. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. If you don’t have the time to travel to each of these for several days then this tour is a must!!

Great Tour - Ghent was wonderful. Antwerp was worth seeing but less scenic. Jorge, our guide, was amazing. He was a fount of information.

Interesting Cities - We had an excellent guide, Julianna. Both cities were really interesting but there was too little free time. 90 minutes free time isn’t even enough to go get dinner and be sure you have time to walk back to the meeting point. Would ideally have done these two cities in separate trips but there was no tour that did this.

Nice way to spend a day - It was a good experience, Sabrina was very nice and had a fun attitude. This was much easier than renting a car or figuring out public transportation to Antwerp and Ghent.

Tour Lived up to Expectation - A relaxing tour. Well organized for those with only limited time to visit these cities, and allowed enough free time to pursue personal interests.

Tour guide Diego was... - Tour guide Diego was FANTASTIC; however, the tour is half English/half Spanish. The Spanish participants speak while the English guide is giving directions and English participants speak while the Spanish guide is speaking (it's horrible, you get nothing out of it). The company couldn't be more of a joke either. The tour bus was frozen by POLICE in Antwerp for 3 hours due to unpaid tickets and I was forced to wander aimlessly until resolved and everything in Ghent closed by the time we got there. Missed dinner reservations in Brussels due to this and the company refused to offer even a partial refund. Find a different tour operator - I should've taken past reviews more seriously. Buendia - do better and pay your traffic tickets!!!
