Visit to Ghent - We went to Ghent last Friday the 15th. When we arrived at the meeting point, we saw that on the excursion there were people who had contracted the visit with more than one agency, we contracted it with Buendía Tours. When we arrived in Ghent, we visited two areas of tourist interest and in the third we stood for 45 minutes listening. It became very tedious for us since when you have been visiting different places for more than a day and, in addition, you are tired, you need more dynamic activities to capture your attention and make you even more interested in what you are seeing.
