Published on May, 2025

Depending on amount of English-speaking people, tour could be bi-lingual.lot of walking. Paulo was great.

Fabulous day out such a beautiful place well worth a visit

Published on Mar, 2025

Fabulous day out with family. Guide was brilliant and we learned so much. Definitely worth the money. Our guide was so helpful. Ghent was so beautiful and interesting

Great chance to see the city with a brief walking tour and time on your own. A nice blend of orientation and freedom.

Published on Mar, 2025

Great tour from a company that has consistently delivered each time we are in Brussels. Easy location and no problems.

A very enjoyable day

Published on Aug, 2024

I had a great time. The bus was not too packed, the walking tour was fun (Diego was a great tour guide) and there was enough time to try different things. I went on a canal tour and also went to see some artwork. Overall a good time.

Fantastic!
