I find the Ghent and Bruges tour interesting, I'm glad I understand English. Just a pity that it rained too much and was too cold. But otherwise always book again. The tour guide explained well.

Our guide was incredible and made the experience a great time for me and my friends. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone staying in Brussels for the weekend.

We had a great time and learned a lot about Brussels, Belgian specialities and best places for food and drinks. Very entertaining guide!

Very good guide .. gives good explanations about the city. Directed us to a very good restaurant. The car was perfect.

A super well informed guide. And some really good tours in the 2 cities. A bit of a long day though.
