Cozy Ghent & Bruges by Bus - Very good organized trip and nice and moderately long stops. Very nice bus but unfortunately poor sound system so the guide heard poorly if you sat further back.

A wonderful time for all ages - We had a wonderful time. Ugo was a great guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. This was a great way to see two very beautiful cities. My mother is older and uses a walker and although a bit tiring for her, we deeply enjoyed this tour.

Great trio - This was a very pleasant trip, guide was great and well worth the money. The chocolate making was awesome and tasting some of these chocolates made me change how I felt about Belgium chocolates. Bruges was a awesome little town. Ghent we had the best waffles I ever had in my life.

Amazing and insightful - Our guide Matteo was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the region Brugge and Ghent. He has a good sense of humour and also he interacted in a one on one situation, answering questions and articulating his responses clearly. I will highly recommend this tour

Disappointed this was cancelled - I was very much looking forward to this day trip. After looking at the many options, thought it would be the most bang for buck with what we were seeing, doing, and where we would be stopping. I received notification that the tour was cancelled the day before. It helped with planning something else given the timeframe (at least it wasn’t the day-of) and the operator provided the options to rebook on a different date or receive a full refund. Hopefully we’ll be back to try this again sometime.

Not What I Signed Up For! - We were asked to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before departure, and if late, they will leave without us with no refunds. The van arrived 10 minutes late. I say van because it was a van not a luxury bus as described on the booking. Our tour director told me the bus that was arriving held 50 people, the “van” held 20 and we were 18. Obviously the equipment was downgraded due to small bookings. That wasn’t so bad except the van did not make for easy viewing as the windows didn’t go very high. If you sat anywhere except a window seat you couldn’t see anything. The director was describing cathedrals and other landmarks as we drove by and all I could see were their doors! The itinerary called for a direct trip to Bruges where we would spend the most time. Ding-ding-ding, wrong again! The itinerary was changed to start in Ghent whee we would spend the most time. When I booked the trip, I really didn’t care about seeing Ghent, now it had become the focus of the trip. Not good. On a positive note, the tour guide was exceptional. Not his fault things were changed.
