    We really enjoyed Sophie's introduction of the magical city of Ghent. She did a very nice job of introducing us to both the old and new parts of the city. We also appreciated her willingness to customize the tour to our walking speed and ability. We saw and learned about many important and interesting facts and areas of the city that we otherwise would not have known. It was a very good way of beginning our time in Ghent.

    We had a wonderful tour of the city thanks to our guide Sophie. She personalized the tour just for us and our interests. We saw things we would have never known about. We admired her passion and love for the city. This is what will someday bring us back again. The lunch choice was equally as great. Very enjoyable and a highlight of our trip to the beautiful city of Gent.

    The walking tour with lunch was very enjoyable. The lunch was a local place with classic Belgium food. The guide had a great deal of knowledge about Ghent. The 2-3 hour time frame was the right amount for this town.

    Vrijdagmarkt

    Vrijdagmarkt

    We start this walking tour with lunch in Ghent at the Artevelde statue at Friday Market. This is a historical square with interesting houses and some cool facts. After a brief introduction and information about what to expect, we explore the square and the surrounding streets. Please note that this itinerary is an example only. If people have a good fitness level (not mandatory though!!) we can cover more ground and therefore also different areas. Also, although it says that we do not make any stops, we do make stops at all landmarks so you can hear the stories told by your guide and to take pictures. We just cannot say how long we will be staying somewhere as that depends on the group. Just so you know :) When you book, please let us know your fitness level.
