It was a good trip with a good host. - We took a day trip from Brussels to Ghent and Bruges, and our guide was a lovely gentleman from Venezuela. His English was good and was able to converse in other languages as well. He kept the tour light and easy and the group in control. The length of the trip is just nice (we had another event to attend that evening so we couldn't afford to be late in returning to Brussels), but I did wish that we got a bit more free time in Bruges to visit the Church of our Lady of Bruges and the Saint John Hospital museum.

Very interesting though not... - Very interesting although we could not see the chocolate factory demonstration. The trip was English, Italian and Spanish. The guide Matthew was especially attentive with us who were the only Spaniards and the driver back showed us the illuminated Atomium.

Great tour highly recommended - My husband and I traveled to Brussels for a long weekend. We always book at least one all day tour to see and learn as much as we can. We chose this tour based on what was offered and the towns we would visit. Matteo was our tour guide and he did an amazing job. He was great at giving history of Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. He was so friendly and we thought by far one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. It was easy to see how much he enjoys his job and sharing his love for Brussels with everyone on the tour. Way to go Matteo!

Good tour for an up and coming tour company. - Guide (Edwin) was very engaging and knowledgeable, recommended "Cookies" to us as a nice little out of the way place to grab a glass of authentic Belgian beer. That single recommendation was the highlight of our entire trip to Belgium. This is a "newer" guide company (self admitted by guide) and they are still finding their legs. The day was a little rushed and one of the guides called in sick heaping a ton of work on our guide (not the company's fault, of course). I would still highly recommend this tour but wear comfortable shoes. We clocked 6 miles of walking total. And the tour was 60%+ in Spanish (again, not our guides fault).

Soggy - The tour itself was good. We had terrible weather the day we went which made the walking part of the tour in each city (over 6 miles combined for the whole day) challenging. The guide, Matteo, was enthusiastic and helpful. Some of the other people on the tour were rude which with the weather, didn’t help the experience.

Lots of walking. The... - Lots of walking. The architecture and history of the towns was awesome but then I’m into that sort of stuff. Bus ride was tedious but comfortable. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful but had a strong accent. English is my wife’s second language so she had difficulty understanding him. The chocolatier was informative. The boat tour was short and overall disappointing and the boat guide was not as funny as he thought he was. There could have been more time to souvenir shop in Ghent but overall we enjoyed it.

Very good other than the Morning bus chaos. - Looking for the right bus in the morning is quite a chaos. many of us running up and down the street, try to looking for someone with "orange" vest but can't around the 8:45 scheduled bus boarding time。 Not till 8:55,our orange vest guide shows up. Other than this early morning scare, our trip went very well。 Burges and Gent are so beautiful。 The cannel cruise ride also very good。 Our female captain was very diligently introducing the city and the cannel area. Time management by the guide was also nice.

Beautiful cities, not enough time to enjoy - Bruges and Ghent are beautiful cities to visit however the free time in each place was not enough. Also the guide adds so much to the experience. Unfortunately David our guide didn’t achieve this. We signed up for an English guided tour, not bilingual. Because of this everything felt so rushed and he looked annoyed most of the time.

Great city, horrible organization & communication - Great city, horrible tour organization and communication. There was no bus or bus driver. It took them an hour and a half to find one. We signed up for an English tour but also that had to listen to the same Tour in Italian and Spanish, which took away time from us moving to the next stop and then free time in the city and markets. The tour guides were nice people, but did not know how to communicate to keep the group together, communicate meeting points well, or keep track of time. They would take off walking so quickly many people on the tour could not keep up and would fall very very behind, and they would not slow down to find the people throughout the entire walking tour. We had six people get lost on the way back to the bus and we had to wait while they went back to find them. we ended up getting back two hours later than scheduled. The city and Christmas markets were absolutely stunning. So many people on the tour were upset, but everyone was making the best of the bad situation. The tour guides were nice and very apologetic, but in the end if they would have communicated properly, a lot of wasted of time could have been avoided. So basically a 10 hour tour turned into a little over 12 hours and because we had to listen to the same thing and two other languages, a lot of information was lost in translation and looking for people all a waste of time. If a tour is going to be told in three languages that needs to be stated upfront, they combined the tours into one, apparently. IIt is very deceptive to buy an English tour and also have to listen to two other languages wasting time. Very disappointing. But the city and Christmas markets were nice.
