"“Ben” is an excellent tour guide
He is well informed and cares about Ghent. This shows throughout your journey through town.
He takes the time to explain history and attempts to blend time and architecture to the cultural changes of the town and its governance. From churches to guilds to city hall. He takes you through the changes to Ghent over the past century as it comes into its heyday as a port town.
He can also shows you places to eat and shop that are authentic to the town and history.
Highly recommend.

Highlight of Brugge!
"Patrick was an excellent tour guide to his hometown of Bruges!! He had tremendous knowledge, energy and passion! The 2 hours went by too soon. Next time we’ll book the 3 hours tour. He also provided us with tips of excursions and dining. He was the best and our time with Patrick was indeed the highlight of our trip here. "
"Benedikt is an expert on Ghent history. He’s a passionate storyteller making the history come to life. We appreciated his tour very much. Highlight of our trip!"
"Excellent informative afternoon with Benedikt. Well paced and covered so much of Ghent's charm, history and architecture. A great introduction for our stay and he was willing and able to answer our extra inquiries for the balance of our stay. Start your visit with Ben!"
"We just returned from a wonderful couples trip. We had Xavier for two tours while we were in Bruges. A city tour as well as a beer tour. Both were fantastic. Xavier truly enjoys sharing his city with people, We learned soo much of the history of Bruges. It's one on my favorite cities in Europe. He gave us a lot of great recommendations on places to eat. The beer tour was equally fantastic. We learned too much about the art of beer and the different kinds. I would highly recommend Xavier for any tour."
"Ben provided a superb historical, cultural, architectural and overall Highlghts tour of Ghent. At its conclusion, we really felt that we had a terrific understanding of Ghent and its history and culture. "
