Well worth it - Debby was very cordial and a great guide. Many personal experiences with a truly great tour. We visited many places after the tour to explore more. A great tour to get the 'lay of the land'.

Enjoyed Ghent, the stories about Ghent and the delicacies from Ghent! - Enjoyed the tour of Ghent, which was told in an interesting way by Tom (in the hat). With his enthusiasm he took us all the way inside the stories about Ghent’s past. The tasters were also delicious!

Best way to see Ghent! - Debbie was our tour guide and she was amazing! She taught us so much history about Ghent, but also the places we visited. We had about 8 stops, and we definitely feel we got our money’s worth. All the food we tasted was delicious and the tour was about 3 hours, and never felt rushed. Highly recommend doing this if you come to Ghent and it being the first thing you do.

Top experience! - On Saturday 15 November we were able to experience a very nice tour! Our guide Tom was top, compliments. A nice, energetic man who could tell fun facts about Ghent and the local shops, without it becoming a history lesson. The tastings were great!! Very cool to see the local businesses and taste the products. We experienced our Saturday afternoon as super positive. Highly recommended! Tom, thank you! A small tip for the organization: Make it possible to give a digital tip to the guides, for example via QR code. Nowadays fewer and fewer people are walking around with physical money but often want to tip such a great guide.

Recommended! - Very nice tour with a nice guide. Various tastings along the way, including of course chocolates and beer. Our guide Tom knew how to tell us about Ghent with passion and led us to places we wouldn't have found otherwise. Definitely value for money, so highly recommended!
