Itinerary

  • Ghent City Center

    Let's go off the beaten path! During this extra long tour you will discover the main attractions, but also many interesting streets and squares outside of the touristic city center, in the 'off the beaten path' areas where the average visitor doesn’t come. A true local guide will share plenty of interesting facts & exciting city legends with you along the way.

    2 hours 30 minutes

  • Chocolaterie Vandenbouhede

    In this local topchocolatier you will meet the owners and taste very experimental chocolates, like a combination with mustard, tomato, bacon or chili! Expect the unexpected ;-)

    15 minutes

  • Chocolatier Deduytschaever

    You will taste delicious local pralines at this local chocolatier, that got elected "best chocolatier of Flanders" by Gault Millau. Look into their atelier and meet the owners. Expect the best of the best!

Very enjoyable

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide Sara was excellent. We didn’t know what to expect in Ghent as it was just a day trip, but it went very well even with the crummy weather she really gave us a good feel for the city and the differences between it and the other large cities in Belgium. She was a local born and raised so that was very helpful and gave us a lot of insight into differences between the north and south of Belgium and all the major cities. The city itself is fairly modern, but has a lot to offer travelers. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Ghent without any previous experience.

Perfect day for us in Gent

Published on Oct, 2023

Nick was our private guide and also the owner Charlie Tours. He was especially accommodating with our mobility issues and was extremely knowledgeable about history and Gent. He even went to buy water for us when the coffee shop we stopped at didn’t have any to purchase. You can tell Nick lives and breathes his city of Gent. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

Best tour guide in Belgium!!!!

Published on Jul, 2022

AMAZING Tour!!! Nick was one one of the highlights of our Belgium trip! He showed us unique places that we would not have seen on our own and opened our eyes to the way of life in Ghent! He is so passionate about his city and you could feel the excitement with each place we stopped! He is so knowledgable about the history of Ghent but we also learned so much about life in Ghent in 2022. He set the bar very high for the rest of the trip and we fell in love with Belgium's best kept secret!

What an experience in Gent!

Published on Jun, 2021

What a great walking tour in Gent! Our 7-people group joined Nick, a young, dynamic, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide tour. We had several stops along the way. Chocolate, pralines, cuberdons, and Belgian gin made an amazing and pleasant experience. The two hour walking tour was perfect with Charlie Tours.

Amazing morning in Gent!

Published on Jul, 2020

This was the best tour we’ve taken in a long time! Nick was professional, funny, knowledgeable, and passionate. It was our first time in Gent and we left feeling like like locals! We have a three year old son and a six year old daughter, so three hours seemed like it might be tough to pull off ... but Nick included them in the tour, quizzed them about what we were learning, and made organized a handful of stops at local chocolate shops. HIGHLY recommend this tour for couples and families! If we could rate the tour with six stars, we would. We’ll be back!
