Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We did the beer tasting tour on our very first afternoon in Belgium and are so glad we did. Artur is a fabulous guide, and just a really friendly guy with loads of information to share. We had a great time and highly recommend both the tour and Artur. "
"The Mr. and I, along with two other couples recently took a 3 hour tour of Bruges with Patrick. I chose him because his write up was full of enthusiasm and that’s exactly who Patrick is - positive, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about his city. We learned so much in a short time about the history of Bruges and its people. A highlight was seeing the Madonna & Child in the Church of Our Lady. While we could have visited alone, I really appreciated Patrick’s commentary and insight. It’s a beautiful piece of art and worth the additional cost of €8 each to see it. "
"Our group of six only had one day in Ghent. We spent 3 delightful hours learning the history of Ghent with Ben. Ben was an engaging guide who clearly loves his city and enjoyed sharing its history and hidden gems with us. Could we have walked around Ghent on our own, absolutely, but we wouldn't have known the 'back story' of what we were seeing. If you love history Ben is the perfect guide for you! "
"Artur was great at knowing the best in food and drink. Bruges was packed with people and we were able to skip some of the lines. It was a beautiful day."
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Ghent, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Ghent spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Ghent.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Ghent, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Ghent awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Ghent, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Ghent. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Patrick is an amazing tour guide. You should definitely pick him. He answered all our questions and had a great sense of humor. He was super knowledgeable and captivated our attention . Without him we would not have had such an amazing time at Bruges. He introduced us to some of the best chocolate and food."
"We had a great time on our food tour with Artur! Our kids loved the experience and we were glad to learn about Bruges a bit while we ate some great food 😊"
"Argus is everything you’d want in a guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly, he goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great tour and enjoy his city."
"Hilde was a delightful guide to Bruges. As a former geography teacher she knew how to engage us with relevant and useful information. And she was fm to spend a little time with."
"Artur was the perfect guide friendly and hugely knowledgable about Bruges and its food. We had a fantastic time. Artur adapted his tour to our party and ensured we all learnt (and ate) heaps."
"Enjoyed so much our tour of Bruges with Hugo. He showed & told us so much of the history of Bruges. He took us on the boat ride through the city. It was beautiful! He took us to a chocolate candy store. We were able to do a tasting. Delicious! Of course I bought a box of different candies! We also spent some time at a brewery. Such a fantastic day with a GREAT tour guide! "
