Gent is a beautiful place...

Published on May, 2025

Gent is a beautiful place & it’s especially nice to see from the canal. The guide had to speak in 3 language's the entire time. It’s a must do excursion!!!

Must do boat tour in Ghent!

Published on Apr, 2025

This was the first thing we did after getting to Ghent. It was a great way to start our few days of staying in the city and helped us get our bearings! Our boat captain was fantastic!

This is a must do!

Published on Apr, 2025

Funny guide, beautiful buildings and very nice boat. I highly recommend! This is a way to see the sights from a different view and to get some history if beautiful Ghent.

Worth for Kobe alone!

Published on Apr, 2025

The boat tour was very nice! It was a fairly rainy day, but the boat had a cover prepared which was very nice. Learned a lot about the local history with a funny twist from the guide, Kobe. Really our favorite part was his comments! This was the highlight of our trip to Ghent. The boat goes by all the main historical attractions, so you also get a different view that way. Super worth it!

Tour with Sophie!

Published on Apr, 2025

The Chocolate Tour with Sophie was incredible! How honored was I to be shown this beautiful city by someone whose family has been here for literally generations! I am so happy I began my week here with Sophie as she brought alive the history of Ghent and so much more from her own personal knowledge of the culture. As well, I have a list of many things to do which I will happily be checking off the list she shared with me! Our day together was engaging and absolutely delightful and I highly recommend touring with Sophie!!
