Here’s an overview of your tour
Both Bruges and Ghent are true medieval gems and some of the most beautiful cities in Europe. They have miraculously preserved their historical charm throughout the ages, making it a paradise for history lovers.
During my tour of Bruges and Ghent, we will focus on the unique history of both cities, from the Celts and Romans to the Vikings and the horrors of world wars. You'll hear captivating stories about artists, magicians, alchemists, crusaders, pilgrims, traders, philosophers, witches, and ghosts. We will stroll through old medieval towns, delving into every colourful aspect of their rich history. And of course, we won't forget to discuss the delectable delights of waffles, beer, and chocolates!
Our exploration will encompass the main sights of Bruges and Ghent, but we will also venture off the beaten path, leaving the crowds behind. Comfortable and air-conditioned transport for up to 8 people is provided.
