Fuimos a Gante el pasado viernes 15. Cuando llegamos al punto de encuentro, vimos que en la excursión habían personas que habían contratado con más de una agencia la visita, nosotros la contratamos con Buendía Tours. Cuando llegamos a Gante, visitamos dos zonas de interés turístico y en la tercera estuvimos 45 minutos parados escuchando. Se nos hizo muy tedioso ya que cuando llevas más de un día visitando diferentes sitios y, además, estás cansado, necesitas actividades más dinámicas para captar tu atención e interesarte más aún por lo que estás viendo.

Me tocó el guía argentino y excelente, no tengo quejas. Lo único que tengo para decir es que yo agregaría una hora más para explorar porque hay muchas cosas para ver.

La ciudad nos encantó y tuvo mucho que ver nuestra guía Melisa. Súper simpática y con mucha gracia para contar las cosas, hizo la visita muy amena. La única pega que pudimos sacarle a la excursión es que se nos hizo corta. Nos hubiera gustado volver a Bruselas un poco más tarde, pero supongo que eso es buena señal.

He de decir que gracias a la guía que tuvimos cariñosamente la uruguaya me enamoré de Gante y es el mejor recuerdo que me traigo de Bélgica, impresionante como te lo trasmite y como lo vive, yo iría a cualquier excursión con ella de guía y qué decir de la ciudad que es visita imprescindible si se va al país

Hablaba y hablaba y seguía hablando. Venga historia y más historia y nada anecdótico, interesante, con gancho... En fin un tostón de guía que se creía el rey de los guías.

Fui de viaje a Bruselas con unos amigos, y decidimos parar un día en la maravillosa ciudad de Gante. La guía que nos tocó, Anais, fue muy amable y cercana, incluso nos facilitó su teléfono personal por si teníamos algún problema durante la excursión. Lo explicó todo de una forma profesional, y a la vez fácil de entender y entretenida. El viaje en bus magnífico. Puntual a la salida y llegada, y el conductor muy bueno. 100% recomendable. ¡¡Anais eres la mejor!!

Excursión muy amena, donde te explican perfectamente los lugares de más interés. Nuestro guía Jesús de Albacete, te enseña Gante a ritmo de novela histórica. Me pareció excelente la forma de realizar la visita. Tienes unas horas libres para ver algún punto que te interese ver de nuevo, comer, hacer compras....Te recomiendan sitios tanto de Brujas como de Bruselas para comer, comprar... Le doy un 10

Arantza P

Muy recomendable para disfrutar conociendo una preciosa ciudad cargada de historia de forma muy amena y original con Pablo el maño... de apellido impronunciable y Jesús el de Albacete...

Increíble visita a Ghent con Mark. El tour fue súper divertido y ameno (a pesar del frío) gracias a Mark por su entusiasmo contando la historia de Ghent y se nota su amor por la ciudad. Totalmente recomendable.
